What do you want me to do? Here I count every reliable stroke in the

This is not "mathematically wrong". But it is "biaised" by your desire
to reach a given figure, and moreover without any signification !..

When I demonstrate another choise by defining 70 stems, and as a
logical consequence receive 104 abbreviations 244 +104 +17, this is
wrong too

Same remark : it is not "mathematically wrong", but "biaised" by your
desire to reach a significant figure !..

The fact is, I did all my countings correct!

On a mathematical point of view, yes !.. But on the point of view of
"making meaningfull calculations", no !.. Your calculations are going
against the "common sense", and are adding pears and apples to reach a
given number, known in advance...

If this is not a
calendar, what is then a calendar?

An object where the hieroglyphs can be interpreted as having some
meaning !.. In your case, you are just dealing with them and with the
dividers as if they were just points and strokes ! (And your Figure is
clearly showing that !). But the hieroglyphs are NOT just that ! they
MUST have a meaning. But in whatever "Calendaric solution" (not only
yours, but others' too), no "reasonable meaning" can be given to them
in the case of thePhaistosDisk, contrary to the other known, similar
true calendars...

You are making up that last paragraph by pure convenience.
It is accepted, that the Stone age populations had confidence with the
year. Simply because they marked those 365 dots usually in a spiral
pattern.
The Maya calendar was accepted as such, long before the meaning and
the method of the hieroglyphs was known,
I even doubt, if they are understood completely today
