Default Clicking the TT button when applying

Sorry if this has been asked before, did a search.

When clicking the yes/no questions when trying to get through the first page of the SWA or FedEx app pages to start an account, they have the TT questions. For instance SWA has the 2500 total time one. If you're a military dude with less than the 2500, but you meet it using their corrections factor (i.e. say 2300 logged, corrected to 2800 using their .2/sortie) are you lying by saying "yes" to get past the first page?

I didn't fill out those apps Grumble - but isn't that why they have the conversion factor?
I think that you should apply the conversion factor and then if you meet the total time requirements you should select 'Yes' to the block.

Southwest says this;

Q: Can I use a conversion factor when determining flight time accumulated in the military?

A: Yes. Military Conversion: When converting taxi time a conversion factor of .3 or 18 minutes, per leg/sortie should be used. These guidelines are imposed by Southwest Airlines for the purpose of standardizing the calculation of flight time.
FedEx says this;

Q: Can I use a conversion factor when determining flight time accumulated in the military?

A: Yes. You may add a plus (.2) per sortie factor to your flight times. Please note that this conversion factor is applied to each sortie not to total time.
I'm sure there's more than one single seat/tactical pilot that WOULDN'T get through the first page without doing the conversion.
