So are you saying that you can get even scores, but most of the games
will have odd scores? So it's possible for the correct komi to be
even if best play must result in a seki situation?

Yes. An even score requires a seki with an odd number of neutral
(uncounted) points. So even komi is possible, but unlikely since very few
games end with seki, unless the score is very unbalanced.

Aren't 6.5 and 7.5
without seki, B + W = 81, so B - W is always an odd number. 6.5 and 7.5
actually are different in case B - W = 7.
