Adding the numbers, since they settle part of this. For anyone reading later: the numbers in this thread are worth checking against a primary source before you act on them, including mine. Half the figures circulating in this community trace back to a secondary summary that dropped a qualifier.

That is the short version; the long version is somebody else's post.

A narrower follow-up, since the general answer is now clear:

Was that from a primary source or from a summary of one?

I read this differently from josh_phd_bmore, on substance rather than tone. Pushing back on the consensus forming here. Consistency is not the same as correctness, and a board that agrees with itself quickly is usually agreeing with the first person who sounded certain.

If somebody has the primary source to hand I would rather cite it than paraphrase it.

Right, and the exception is worth naming rather than left implied, because the exception is where people get into trouble.

Correct me if the detail matters more than I have assumed.

Thank you — that is the clearest version of this I have read, and I have read a lot of them. I will report back once I have actually tried it.
