I think the rule was written as "3/4 x 4" because of the number 1 being thin. I am questioning how this rule affects other numbers, namely the wider ones. The number 2 for instance will be around 2.5" wide when 4" tall. This satisfies the rule about being larger than 3/4", but it still may not satisfy the rule if the characters "thickness" is less than 3/4".

Which way is the rule intended to be interpreted?
I see what you're saying but if we assume the rule is written properly and can only apply to either line thickness or aspect ratio then we must conclude it relates to line thickness. Don't you agree?
