[Avodah] sephira question

[hankman]

The blog entry you refer to does not so far as I can see answer my question. I think you meant the following quote:

"R' Micha Berger, building on R' Elozor Reich, suggests that since the Torah asks us to count complete days, perfect days, we count them as wholes, as integers. Thus we can count them at the beginning of the day, as Tosfos requires - once a moment of the new day has passed, we are into the wholeness of the day, and can count the whole day. Otherwise, we would have to wait for the whole day to pass before counting it, recognizing that another whole day has passed. That sounds vaguely plausible."

This does not explain why weeks are different, they too require temmimos (sheva shabosos temmimos) so why the difference?
