In high school, I used to be frustrated by this as well. But now, I've come to appreciate being able to get a reminder for a definition or a famous result just by googling and clicking on the resulting wikipedia page.

I didn't get it for a solid 2 minutes before realizing you have to pronounce it wrong for the joke to work
But 8% and 13% are both below 10
