The 20% comment was about the top title bar and the bottom page-number/menubar combined.
I have no Aura to hand, so I had to whip out my Glo. Not counting any margins whatsoever, just the heights of the actual bars:
Screen height: 12.5 cm
Menubar: 1 cm
Top title bar: 0.8 cm
Comes to 14.4%, pre-margins. (Now, personally, I can see the reason for the menubar at the bottom; I'm much more fussed about title bar distraction than about screen real estate, but what I really really want is a choice. We had that, and now it's been taken away.)
Either way, however, "you are willing to lie about it" is a pretty rubbish thing to say, I reckon. How about assuming good faith, and saying "That's not the measurement I'm getting - let's compare?"
