I read the original statement again,  while
it may seem a bit misleading,  I understand
it now.

Here's a little table I use to "translate"
EV to camera settings:

EV in secs at ISO 100
---------------------

f/stop  1.0  1.4  2.0  2.8  4.0  5.6  8    11   22   32   64   128

EV10    1000 500  250  125  60   30   15   8    4    2    1"   2"
EV11    2000 1000 500  250  125  60   30   15   8    4    2    1

EV17                             4000 2000 1000 500  250  125  60
EV18                                  4000 2000 1000 500  250  125
EV19                                       4000 2000 1000 500  250
EV20                                            4000 2000 1000 500
EV21                                                 4000 2000 1000

For other ISO speeds simply shift the left
column up (slower speed) or down (faster
speed) at one row per f/stop difference in
speed.

Of course,  this table doesn't consider
reciprocity failure.
