Quite possibly you are. At least I don't remember either reading of or hearing anyone else (in the past) state that they had done so. I can only imagine how many words there are in the 2 Vol. shorter OED as I've heard they make the text in the OED so small you need a magnifying glass to read the entries properly (because they use a fairly small font in order to fit as much text in as possible).
