That article is known to contain basic errors. See, for example,

indolence log, by Anthony Towns
or the comments from the article, even.

That's a bit low.

Please explain how you know that the statistic is "that wrong".

I think the statistic is questionable, so there should be
verification/substantiation of the statistic, but I don't know
whether it's right or wrong. I think it's prejudging things to
delete the first paragraph as suggested.

Hope that helps,
