What is the basis of performance claims in the readme?

The start of the readme in this repo claims (emphasis mine):

In fact, in benchmarks, Bebop is 100 TIMES faster than Protocol Buffers and 1000 TIMES faster than JSON.

This is immediately followed up by two graphs that seem to directly contradict this claim: "C#: operations per second", where Bebop is approximately 2 times faster than ProtoBuff and 20 times faster than JSON, and "TypeScript: operations per second", where Bebop is approximately 6 times faster than ProtoBuff and JSON.

Given that both graphs show a much smaller difference than 100 times, what is the basis for claiming that Bebop is 100 times faster than ProtoBuff and 1000 times faster than JSON?
