   Yes, of course.  But it was not known in 2007 when the outburst
started, and there remained a possibility that they missed the
early superhump phase.  In the present case, ASAS-SN observation
has put a very strong constraint that superhumps developed
within 2 d of the start of the outburst.  This development is
very quick.
