(following up from a previous question)

If one counted Sefiras Haomer downwards, for example:

Today is 49 days, which is 7 weeks to the Omer...

 

Today is 48 days, which is 6 weeks and 6 days to the Omer...

Albeit this is a non-traditional method, but practically speaking the person did count 7 weeks.

Would one fulfill their obligation of Counting the Omer this way?

##Note:

Note:

I don't feel my question is similar to this question because (as pointed out by DonielF) I'm not asking why we count upwards (1-49) rather, if one would be yotzei counting Sefira if they counted down from 49-1

Would one fulfill Sefiras HaOmer by counting downwards (49-1)?
