The entire cycle for the interglacial warm period is defined from the glacial maximum to the next significant low temperature minimum.

Further reading on Milankovic cycles and their influence on our climate has not convinced me that the next glacial must be 20 - 50 Ky away.

What I was saying, technically, is that the Holocene interglacial would normally last another 50,000 years until the next glacial sets in, based on the Milankovich cycles which cause these glacial cycles.
