True enough.

My purpose was merely to note that western terminal capacity in New York would be increased, but not to the point where it equaled the capacity of the branch itself (or at least, the branch between the future WOOD and Great Neck).

Western terminal capacity allocated to Port Washington branch trains will max out at 12 tph, and yes, surely the branch can handle more trains than that, indeed. But building more western terminal capacity is liable to very expensive. Maybe at some future point when it's decided to send the Montauk Line into New York too, that will permit more Port Washington branch trains to be run, but of course that's a very long time off, assumign that it ever happens.
