The graph on lockshot shows 8.7m. I assume the author of the pcpro article just rounded up. I'm not saying the author should have rounded up, because she shouldn't have. Journalists should strive for accuracy in paraphrasing the words of their subject. I wouldn't necessarily call it inaccurate though, since it falls within what Harvey estimates as well. I'd rather call it slightly overzealous reporting.

Rounding from 8.7 to 9 is perfectly acceptable, especially with something that's an estimate to begin with.
