To derail on the sentence: "Approximately" so later they can say that it was actually 200 or 400. "related to productivity" hints that they turned over some more but not related to productivity as to lower the precision of this number even more. "in this timeframe" put all this in a timeframe said by someone else. Every part of the sentence works hard to make the number 300 more imprecise. I think he talks like this because he has no idea about the actual number.
