Analogous is the label on vodkas that says “distilled N times”, as if they were making it in batches using pot stills.

Vodka is made almost exclusively in industrial-scale continuous fractionating columns. The concept of it being “distilled N times” is farcical. (But technically defensible because you can map the output of the fractionating column to any arbitrary N via equivalence relationships.)
