In this case technically correct is not the best kind of correct. An N95 mask is about 95% effective in preventing spread indoors. Isn't it critically important to know that being outdoors is apparently roughly as effective as one of the most effective masks? People spend more time inside than outside, so maybe it's not 5x as effective, but outdoors is much, much safer than indoors. If the real number is .1% for outdoors then you are actually better off being outdoors than wearing an N95. I don't envy the CDC, it is almost impossible to communicate anything even slightly complicated. When they announced that vaccinated people could gather in small groups, at least one person I know interpreted that as saying it was low-risk to go to church in a large gathering with singing.
