That’s my point. Most YEC point to 6000 years. Even within their own framework, I don’t see how you get to 4000 years. My best guess is they saw 4004BC and forgot that 1 BC was about 2000 years ago.

This is exactly what it is. When everything you believe is made up, it’s easily to accidentally make up the wrong number and then believe that instead.
