But surely that's only true if you insist that "stellar" has to mean "high quality" rather than it's commonly understood association with performance. If you read his paragraphs about "isnt' good", "merely average" and "great" work as simply being about an author's expectations when planning to publish (which is what makes sense in the context of this report, you can only choose your publishing path from your expectations or hope for a manuscript), then the words do correspond to the numbers - in fact the numbers led directly to these words when you accept them in the context of the report.
