I stand by that. It is a bit disingenuous (purposefully or ignorantly) to call 11% “en masse”.

So you genuinely think that the commenter was being insincere by making that remark?

I don’t attribute it to malice. A misleading claim is just that, misleading, whatever their intentions.

It’s alright if we disagree.

The problem is that the word "disingenuous" does not mean "misleading", it means "insincere". So when you say that someone is being "a bit disingenuous", you are necessarily commenting on their character, not just their claim.
