Is this a failed attempt at sarcasm?
Apple takes the small print to an art, in addition to being several pages of scrolling away from the actual claim. Even presented with normal typography here on HN, the text is so unreadable that my eyes try to glance off of it, and I'm a technical users that knows what the text means!
If you want to publish this kind of "snapshot" information, either publish somewhere where that is clear from context (like a blog), or at the very least make sure that the inline content makes it very clear! For example: "In October 2020, we found that Safari caused the battery to last 10% longer the then-latest version of Chrome".
Publishing this kind of claim as evergreen and then pointing at the small print when anyone complains (as if anyone in the actual target group actually read that) is effectively fraud.
