Same position here, arrived at the long way round. One addition: an unstated method makes a report close to uninterpretable. "99% pure" without the technique, the standard and the conditions is a claim, not a measurement.
One concrete data point for the thread. Keep the original post as written when you update it, and add the correction underneath. An edited-away mistake is invisible to the next person who makes it.
One thing that is still open after LabKate’s answer:
Whether a purity figure and a content figure can disagree without one of them being wrong?

Pushing back on Dr.PathRoch here. 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.
Correct me if the detail matters more than I have assumed.
Moderator note: good thread. Keeping it here rather than moving it, because the question is general enough to be useful.
