The percentages make no sense here either.
No transparency in how they're calculated.
The Math Just Does Not Quite Compute

Somebody told me when the first person makes an error, it goes easy on the original person, not quite sure either way don't trust the computer
Might be based off another algo. Different moves and positions will therefore impact how much each bad move actually impacts the percentage.

For those that cannot make it out black obtained an 88.5 Accuracy score with 9 inaccuracies in a 35 move game. Percentage wise that comes out to 26%. And never mind black's 2 blunders!
Obviously Accuracy score is not actually meant to be expressed as a true percentage but with basically 11 poor moves out of 35 (31%) how can the score be so high? And by the way white's numbers do not compute so well either.
I came to the conclusion years ago that they employ iffy programmers and iffy theoreticians in all departments. We can take it that it doesn't make sense because drivel is acceptable.
I just did a lesson. My first lesson ever, which was "Queen's Gambit Accepted". It gave my preferred continuation as "incorrect". The continuation I prefer is stronger than the continuation they prefer. It's also more complex. It's what big boys play. They prefer white's line with a4, which allows black fairly easy equality.

And your example is almost a year old. So obviously not much has changed.
