It’s an odd combination of pedantry and ignoring facts.

i am not ignoring the facts, you just don't like my interpretation of them and you are twisting meaning of the word (or maybe you are ignorant of the meaning... do you see what i did there? 😂) hoping it will support your argument. so i thank you for so nicely proving my point about the language abuse.

it is an odd pedantry to insist on calling 1,5% difference between two highly imprecise numbers, where one of them does not even exist yet, record breaking and historical, but you do you.
