13 and a half stops... is... very VERY good.

They do great reviews at cinetechnica.
But I was wondering one thing, did they close the aperture 1stop when switching to slog? Because just switching from 709 to slog without compensating at least one stop should result in overexposing (clipping the highlights one stop sooner) if we follow the official sony information "slog is 1600iso".
What chart are they using? The 13 or the 18 stop one? Are they exposing mid grey or to the highlights before counting the stops?
