Stroke Count Estimation

I have been looking at this article on estimating baseline stroke counts www.usaswimming.org/.../ViewMiscArticle.aspx I have relatively short arms and the method produces quite a high stroke count. It does make quite difference though whether I measure wrist to wrist as suggested or (say) finger tip to finger tip. Does anyone have a view on whether the method suggested produces reasonable targets? Thanks, Namor
