Is that really accurate? Not always IMO.
What about if your opponent is producing less intel points, yet sharing them equally across 12 intel projects each worth 50K points. They all finish on the same turn - that's 600,000 points thrown at you all at the same time. You'd have to have (to be safe) 3 CounterIntell III's almost done to protect against all those.
That's why I generally will have half my queue (6) counterintel projects (of the highest level I can) running at the same time. 6 CI III's can store up to 1,500,000 points (250K each). IIRC the key to counterintell is STORED points, not produced points.
