I now suspect that misleading imagery may be at work here. A million statements—that sounds like a lot, doesn’t it? If you made one such pronouncement every ten seconds, a million of them would require you to spend months doing nothing but pontificating, with no eating, sleeping, or bathroom breaks. Boy, that would be tiring, wouldn’t it? At some point, surely, your exhausted brain would slip up and make an error. In fact, it would surely make more than one—in which case, poof!, there goes your calibration.
That would be misleading imagery. I don’t think that is a fair representation of the imagery you quote. It sounds more like a description a debater would use when trying to make a position sound bad. Fatigue doesn’t come into it. That would be silly.

No, it’s a description of a potential failing in the intuition pump that the imagery sets up.
