But OTOH we can also assure that widows=3 is not the used setting because 1836 with its just TWO starting trailing lines should be impossible...

I don't think that is exactly what widows:2;orphans:2; means.
widows:2; means that
at least two lines of the paragraph remain at the top of a page.
orphans:2 means that
at least two lines of the paragraph remain at the bottom.
So if a paragraph has five lines, then widows:2;orphans:2; allows it to be split either as 2+3, 3+2. Your pictures show it being split as 2+3, which is correct.
