The problem with using a year that's a multiple of four from 1961 is that ~16% of such a year is going to be different than the majority of that year, so then the specific month becomes relevant, thus it would take longer to type out 2017 and explain a couple months of variance instead of just using 2016 instead.

If the "present" is any time in 2017 before November 8th, then it's still Year 14 of the compression, and 2017 - 14 years = 2003.

If the "present" is any time in 2018, then it's Year 15 of the compression, and 2018 - 15 years = 2003.

If the "present" is any time in 2019, then it's Year 15 of the compression, and 2019 - 15 years = 2004.

If the "present" is any time in 2020, then it's Year 15 of the compression, and 2020 - 15 years = 2005.

If the "present" is any time in 2021 before November 8th, then it's still Year 15 of the compression, and 2021 - 15 years = 2006.
