You have to be careful about wording here. The *most* *likely* TMRCA
is well over 3000 years, but the 95% confidence interval starts about
2000 years (depending on the sizes of the six discrepancies). If you
go to an extreme description like "any possible", it comes all the way
down to one generation.
