Yeah that's very misleading. You note questions from 1 to 5 then they show you an average of answers from 0 to 4 (you'll never get an average below 1 and of course probably not a linear scale anyway).
We already had that discussion when websites used star ratings where you couldn't rate 0 star...
I guess you already know that if those announcements don't include an earth shattering factorization record it's because they probably didn't achieve anything worth noting.
About footnote, claiming is not the same than telling truth.
A lot of corporations are making their own "laws" (warranty stickers, abusive contract clauses, anti-piracy disclaimers, etc.) and they are keeping them even when they know it's total lies.
Authorities also take what corporations tell them as granted truth.
So even if the odds are in favor of corporations being right (corps are usually a lot of people), don't fall in that kind of trap especially when it favors the corporation or if there are facts casting doubts.
