Nitpicking* when it comes to facts and figures is important and should be expected. It's very very easy for someone to cite an inaccurate fact and for that new "fact" to become accepted and cited elsewhere, lots of people will blindly cite things they've seen elsewhere. It's also the case that a specific fact can change how someone views the topic at hand. Although in this case 96% is obviously an error, it's still an error that should be fixed. The person you replied to has deleted their comment so I guess maybe they were being an abusive asshole about it, which is certainly not needed. * Nitpicking implies the things aren't important so I guess that's the wrong word, but I tried to be consistent with your comment.
