Sorry Flyboy, I appreciate we don't see eye to eye on many things but this is ridiculous and looks, feels and sounds like political spin.
When speaking on a Sunday and referring to the previous Friday, two days before, one is talking about this week. Last week being the week prior to the current one.
Under commonly held wisdom and the official international standard ISO 8601 the week runs from Monday to Sunday, 'this week' is usually considered to be referring to the current period of Monday to Sunday and 'last week' the previous period.
An exception to this is when one uses a term such as 'In the last week' where speaking about time relatively rather than absolutely in which case the statement is taken to refer to the previous relative period of 7 days to the current day rather than an absolute week of Monday to Friday.
Your comment about 'perspective' is quite weak and reminds me pretty strongly of a politician. 'We weren't wrong, it's a matter of perspective...'
But of course you know all this.
