Correct, what it does say is that once you divide the tree there would
be 2n1 - 3 - 1 reassertion points for the tree. Then after that he is
not clear to me. He says

"In fact considering both subtrees (no having n1 species and the one
having n2 species, there are
(2n1-3-1) + (2n2-3-1 ) = (2n-3-1) = 2n-8
neighbors generated at each interior branch."

This assumes n1 + n2 = n.

I guess that is all the possible combinations assuming the same
attachment locations for the trees, examining one tree at a time.

Then he states that external nodes (which is not defined) is 2n-6.
Without proof I'll accept that for a moment (and I think it corresponds
to binary tree theory), but I'm not sure that an exterior node is. That
is a node that connects to leafs?

Finally, the last unclear sentence, at least to me, states:

"Thus, as there are n exterior branches on an unrooted bifurcating tree
and n-3 interior branches, the total number of neighbors examined by SPR
will be

n(2n-6)+(n+3)(2n-8)"

That is where he lost me. Then he follows up
and he says tha there are 288 neighbors for n=11
and
"Of course, 2(n-3)=16 of them are the same as NNI"

For TBR he says that there is no general formula for the number of
neighbors that will be examine. That made be stand on the edge of my
seat? Say what? Then what are we doing?

:)
