The only reason stories are counted as Earth-Thirty-Two (henceforth: Earth-32, because) is because something doesn't match the established continuity. If there's no inconsistency, or if it's a reprint from another story that's not listed, that obviously doesn't extend to that.

It's not our fault if it's treated inconsistently. If you look at Earth-40 and Earth-85, you won't see any /1's, despite the fact that multiple are multi-story issues.
