I think that is what is typical done.

Big O is not a calculation formula but a description of characteristics.

True.

That is O(N) in list size.

The hypothesis was O(N) in number of intervals with some assumptions.

If those assumptions are not met then I would expect it to be
less than O(N).

So that was a worst case assumption.
