counterfactual, sure.

but the framing of the question makes a difference too, especially the units of measure and the age of the reader.

1800s vs 1960 == ancient history
1960 vs 2020 == my whole life
those don't see like apples to apples. perhaps the point, but "the 1800s" also includes 159 years ago--not the same.
