Yes, 'db file sequential read' is always a single block read. It is 'db file scattered read' which is <= DB_FILE_MULTIBLOCK_READ_COUNT

THe event 'db file sequential read' is NOT always an INDEX Scan. It is
just a single block read which TYPICALLY happens during an INDEX scan.
The word 'TYPICALLY' is the key here.
