The Mistake in Claims of Octave Singing Range.....

Whenever I see claims of singing range as 4 octaves or more, the FOS alarm goes off........

When one claims a four-octave range, he/she often ignores the fact that hitting the same note over four octaves is actually a three-octave range. (It's like that old fence math problem: If posts are 10 feet apart, how long would a fence be with 10 posts. The answer is NOT 100 feet. It's 90 feet.)

Think about it, even a three octave range is rare with singers..... Amongst the males, the only one I can think of is maybe Paul McCartney...... Amongst the females, Mariah Carey is three octaves.
