It makes tons of sense to compare those numbers. It's a big part of how you benchmark lossy compression. I guess in some sense they should use BMP instead of PNG but it's arguable.

Sure that’s true. But if something makes sense for a technical benchmark that’s not a guarantee it’s the best way to introduce a concept. I just think other approaches could have been more clear for this case.
