Right you are. In fact, it seems to me that at one time in the Society's history they did just that. Starting those 1260 years with the fall of the Ottoman empire, or with the establishment of the Papacy and ending them with some battle of Napoleon, or with the French revolution, or with the invention of the electronic cream separator or with some other lunacy.
