If its a 500 mg pill, that would be 5.4 tablets per liter, which would be about 20 tablets per gallon. That's not 285, but it's also not 1.5 tablets in 2 gallons

In the study, 15 mili-mole concentration is used to figure out how much salicylic acid can be absorbed by plant and find out that "
However, little of the salicylic acid (1.4%) moved into new plant tissues" So
MARTHA MCBURNEY, the master gardener uses 1.5 tablets (81 mg) in 2 gallons. Retry your calculation you will understand why Martha uses 1.5 tablets. Remember that this is the pratical dosage Martha uses with her experience and it's not necessary exactly the same number with your calculation. Cheers.
