Thank you for clarifying. EDIT: even so, it's still a direct quote of one of the researchers, and indicated as such in the title. Clickbaity, but not misleading. Plus, adding up all the issues raised about how urbanization has been measured so far, all the in which ways politics muddles up the data, and the resulting gigantic error in measurement together, the problem does seem so fundamental that I don't find the quote that overblown either.
