cut some slack - maybe she's busy you know, helping 30-odd underpriveledged kids expand their horizons. when the heck did this community start only focussing on the nitpicking? as the OP said 'small point'...
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.
