Maybe, but it is entirely possible that someone put together some numbers and got them completely wrong, in which case those statements sound pretty reasonable. They could be misleading or outright false, but we don't know that either way based on those statements.

We can make assumptions, however.

The claims made by the document referred to in the article are potentially harmful to Amazon. If they were untrue and the truth painted Amazon in a better light, they would likely be willing to counter the article with information of their own.

That they instead respond with a total non-answer is a signal that either the document is accurate, or the truth is worse.
