Well yeah. I would have thought a couple of back and forths should count as a session.
Maybe the notion of 'session' is kind of not very fitting because it would be hard to figure how much information is comperable to a session. There is also the point that you can have two pieces of writing the same length but one can be a fairly easy rambly read and the other can be harder going and require more time to think about.
It would be hard to correct misconceptions if one substantial email counted as a session. I don't think I'd like that very much.
