I count each block as if it took 10 minutes

Lol, what a pointless discussion. So when we happen to get 3 full blocks within 2 minutes is that 100 tps? 

When bitcoin blocks are found is probabilistic, it only makes sense to talk about averages. There is no such thing as bitcoins instantaneous tx rate.

An average is not a maximum. When someone says bitcoin "only" does 7 tps they are wrong because it does a lot more than that on a daily basis. It is like saying a pool is only 7 feet deep when that's only an average and the deep end is 13. The word "only" (and its synonyms) is what makes the difference.

TPS Counter: help debunk the "7 tps" myth

According to Clark Moody's dashboard, the rate over the past 30 days has been: 

[ 6.3 tps ]

So 7 does not seem like a myth at all, it seems totally accurate.
