Exactly, 212. One additional thought re the translational lift term ( which adds to your point ). That term relates to the drop in power required for level flight as one translates forward from hover to some forward speed. The shape of that power required plot is a bit different for each different rotor/aircraft model. If one then looks at the shape of that plot, saying that one speed is the translational lift speed is an argumentative point-its a curve. Thus-your last sentence is the point and melds the technical and legal aspects.
