It was lower though, just not significantly so (depending on your threshold for significance) - that's the standard way of reporting it. You can't just chunk part of the sentence and take issue with it, the sentence in it's entirety is accurate.


Yes I agree that the sentence is accurate.

Perhaps I’m too zealous about it, and maybe the conventions vary, but I was trained to avoid using words like ‘lower’ here.
