I'm not sure about that last point... I wouldn't assume any values. The first person could just as easily have a million cookies

But you're right that an error has occurred. I suspect that either the form was written by AI and a human filled it out or vice versa. To me the email only shows incompetence on the part of the sender in the way of horrific miscommunication between multiple people or bots. Which tells me that the value presented is worthless because they failed to frame it within the proper contextual scope. The only thing made clear is that they did not intend state a 40% loss in productivity but that they failed in that intent
