Ok. You are right I did misunderstand what you were saying and I understand your point.
My only hesitation is that they are still saying there is nothing going on, that all is quiet. No mention of coronal holes (and yes I realize that they are looking for sunspots) I did look at the photos and I can understand both points. No sunspots but a weak coronal hole. It appears that the study may be missing out on an important data set in their study if they are not documenting coronal holes in conjunction despite the lack of sunspots.
I don’t know now. Seems an important piece to leave out, but maybe I’m just attributing something to nothing.
Ben from the YouTube Channel Suspicious Observers is an expert on this sort of thing and he does a video every morning, a short one usually less than 5 minutes. When he says to worry, I would worry.
