Am I tripping, or is the wiki's 4,400 mental age stat for Gong- ja completely wrong?

Am I tripping, or is the wiki's 4,400 mental age stat for Gong- ja completely wrong?

Was checking out the wiki for SSS Class Revival Hunter and saw Gong-ja's age listed like this

​32 (before regression)

​21 (after regression)

​4,400 (mentally)

After looking back at it recently, ​that 4,400 number feels off to me, but maybe I'm missing something? So I want to see how everyone else looks at it.

​Here's my logic:

​To go back 11 years and stop the Flame Emperor, he had to off himself around 4,000+ times (since his skill rewinds 24 hours per death). It really feels like whoever wrote that stat saw "4,000+ deaths" and just accidentally assumed it meant "4,000+ years."

​Even if we look at those 11 years, I don't think you can just add 11 years straight to his mental age like he actually lived them. When he was doing that massive suicide chain, he wasn't chilling for a full 24 hours in each loop before dying again, he was speedrunning it. He'd wake up, deal with the pain, and kill himself almost immediately.

​Since mental age is basically about continuous conscious experience, he was just fast-traveling backward. He only experienced a few minutes per loop, not whole days.

​So wouldn't his mental age realistically still be around 32, just with a terrifying amount of trauma packed into a couple of months of constant dying? Or does regression lore in this series work differently and I'm totally wrong?

Image may look off because I removed what I thought might be potential spoilers from the screenshot.
