Yes, the 80% claim comes from comparing 9 tests converted by both the conversion tool and humans and comparing the quality - “80% of the content within these files was accurately converted, while the remaining 20% required manual intervention.” Not sure what to make of it since they claim only 16% of files get fully converted.

Was it the 20% of the code that requires 80% of the time to write?
I guess they believe the files that didn't get fully converted got like 76% converted on average?
