That's what I said, yes. Overtaxing starts making a net loss earlier with G3 than with G0, compared to 100% taxes with the same scales.

I realize the total income made during those 20ish turns will have been higher with G3 than G0 or D3. However, it is still very puzzling to me that G3 makes overtaxing less (relatively) effective, when you'd expect the pop regrowth would mitigate the pop loss from overtaxing and thus keep the overtaxing gravy train going a bit longer.
