Nicely stated. I stand corrected from an earlier post about the rules not addressing the visibility of the count.
But I also completely agree with HokiePaul's perspective. I would do the same thing in that situation. Visibly count as often as you can, but using good judgment there may be times here and there when you skip a few arm strokes.
