fair enough. But at the end of the day you're going to need to get your logbook endorsed, at which point your numbers need to be in line with those of the company/regulating authority (assuming they keep their own log, and if the original poster is flying long haul I'm sure they do) other wise they're just going to ask you to correct it, so you might as well follow their regs from the get go rather than having to sprawl over months and years of data to meet their requirements.
