 Correct. But I don't see what differece that makes. 
 
It means we can never come to agreement on the subject.  You're a
hardware guy, so naturally you consider the bit-ness of a CPU to be the
size of the data bus.  I'm a software guy, so I consider the bit-ness to
be the size of the registers (ALU for the anal among us).  So never the
twain shall meet, I guess.
