NO your point does not stand, unless the numbers increase by a factor of 4,294,967,298 between expansions, which obviously they don't.
To demonstrate, let's give a generous estimate that health pools increase by a factor of 100X from the end of one expansion to the next. (they don't. I've gone through some of them and the difference seems to be roughly 10-35X increase)
If bosses reached the limit of ~2.1 Billion at the end of an expansion (roughly the 32 bit limit) and then increase by X 100 to reach the end of each subsequent expansion we get something like this:
2,147,483,647 X 100 X 100 x 100 x 100 = 214,748,364,700,000,000 ~ (214 quadrillion)
That would give us 4 expansions to safely exponentially increase power by a factor of 100 and we would hit the 64 bit limit of ~9.2 quintillion sometime during the fifth expansion AFTER hitting the 2.1 billion boss hp mark. So you can add however many expansions it takes to hit that 32 bit limit after a squish.
To be more realistic as to the rate boss health pools actually increase in game but still lean on the side of larger power increases let's say end boss health pools increase by a factor of X35 between expansions. Then we get:
2,147,483,647 x 35 x 35 x 35 x 35 x 35 x 35 = 3,947,645,368,529,734,375 ~ (3.94 quintillion)
That means we could safely have 6 expansions AFTER hitting the 32 bit limit.
So no, your point does not stand, it does not take just one more expansion to hit the 64 bit limit after hitting the 32 bit limit. I suggest you work on your math skills.
