I’m not validating anything. Just clearing up the confusion. You two were talking past each other. But now that you realize you were mistaken you’ve decided to attack me.

his first term would count as more than two consecutive terms.

Sure, but if we’re really splitting hairs it wouldn’t be more than two consecutive terms until after he has served his second consecutive term to completion. Otherwise it’s just a consecutive partial term.

Ultimately like you said it’s all stupid and obviously not how it is written.

No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice

Consecutive isn’t even mentioned in the text. There really isn’t even wiggle room for interpretation.
