Yes we did, and I agree, Talking about % is not the same as talking about actual numbers of people, saying 10,000 people crashed and 2,500 went to ER even tho wearing a helmet is not the same as saying 7,500 people didn't need to go to ER because they wore a helmet... (made up numbers). And yes we, have said it but the bare headers totally ignore the helped numbers as if there weren't any and just keep saying the injured numbers where the helmet failed...
EDIT; Lately they do say that a helmet can help a bit, scratches, bumps, but minor stuff only... At least now they have stopped saying a helmet actually increases the chance of injury, causes injuries, you are better off without a helmet...
