...I don't know, but a more serious idea would be that the mass of everything they found so far is 82% of the mass they'd expect to find according to simulations. Like all those planets they discovered because their mass had an influence on nearby bodies.
Not saying this is the actual reason, just that there are reasonable ways to get a number like this...
