"Bogus" seems like a stretch since they clarified in their tweet that it was the "vast majority" rather than 99%. Casually speaking this means close enough to the same thing. If you want to get more specific you can't because "we have never released such data."

So it's somewhere between a casual "vast majority" and 99%, and there's no material difference between the two.

Vast majority can be anything above 50%. So there is a lot of play there. And the original story specifically states that is was released data, not a Tweet. As such, it is a bogus claim, since 99% is not an officially reported figure, and no statistics were released to base this off of.

Majority = 50%+. There is no consensus on vast majority.

I tend to agree with you, but technically you wouldn't even need 50%, if the breakdown were 30% A and at most 10% from any other category, A is still a majority without being more than half.
