The numbers weren't accurate to begin with.. there is no fixed percentage of losses that can occur through a given type of drivetrain, so the numbers were placed there as holders to show the actual point - that automatic transmissions are no longer the power-defeating POS's they used to be.
I thought this would be evidenced by the use of words like "assumed" and "something like".
Sorry for not making that clear.
