What do you think a true count is? It is the average of the seen cards across the number of unseen cards. You have seen the cards that add to -10. You know where they are. You know the TC for all the unseen cards. You know how many decks of these cards got mixed with the slug. If you assumed the TC for the cards mixed in was 0 it would be like seeing a bunch of low cards but assuming the TC of the remaining cards was 0. It is no more an imaginary average than your TC you base your bets on is imaginary. They are both based on the exact same thing.
