Is the 80-byte block header included in the calculation?

I'm pretty sure it is.

Total Size and Base Size both include nonwitness data? So some bytes are being counted twice? That means a 4MB block would be impossible

In theory, you can get pretty close to 4M, by having transactions that consist almost entirely of witness data. In practice, that won't happen for normal financial transactions, closer to 2M.

@PieterWuille is it a mistake to measure weight in bytes? (Or MB)
