A funny sort of domination.

Yes, as explained in the linked thread that looked at spans of success - to try and break down the whole history of F1 then benchmark spans were taken (50, 100, 150 races etc) and for a minimum of 3 whole seasons. 1997 was included in the assessment of Ferrari to span a certain benchmark.
It is true that you could exclude 1997 and look after that date, but the overall results would not show more dominance compared to other periods.
The original comment was 'from 1997 [onwards]'. Not specifically 1997 alone.
