No, it's not just a guess. It had some hard data behind it, it's just that nospam couldn't remember the actual numbers, so based on memory, he estimated them to be something close to what they were.
He didn't even count or test some of the cameras.
Because, as far as we know, his goal there wasn't to gather statistical data.
Nevertheless he gathered some.
9 out of 9 cameras were non-functional with what appeared to be dead batteries. of those, only one was an slr (from canon) without a lens, so even if its battery was charged it would still have been non-functional. no nikon slrs at all, broken or not.
1 out of 2 chromebooks was non-functional and the other one was stuck in demo mode, making it impossible to try out.
the only android phone that wasn't a dummy phone, a samsung galaxy s4, had a dead battery. the rest were dummy phones.
on the other hand, the kindles and ipads worked.
