The Precise Moment the Silver Age Ended

From a letter by M.K. Tomashevsky of Rochester NY in Jimmy Olsen #133 (Oct. 1970):
When people ask me when the Silver Age ended, I usually tell them Jimmy Olsen #133, when Jack Kirby jumped the rails (Marvel's and the usual metaphor's) and started on his Fourth World series. So is this reader completely missing the point of the Silver Age with his question, or were readers simply ahead by a few months?

In other words, did the Silver Age end... on demand?
