@SortOfTested Not at all, I'm very... unconvinced by the whole "X years experience in blah" thing generally. But this takes it to a whole new level...

@AlmondSauce
The expression for that is "9 women can't make a baby in a month" -
@SortOfTested There are other issues too, for example just because someone has 6 years total experience in pregnancy doesn't mean they have better odds for a healthy child. Quite the opposite, in fact.
Pet peeve #3984 - when managers / salespeople anyone else pretends it's just appropriate to "add up" years of experience.
"I'm sure we can solve this, the team have over 100 years of coding experience between them"
...yeah, that's not how experience works, doofus. Unless you'd really trust 20 people with 6 month's experience over a single person with 10 year's experience.
