-Extending from that, I'm starting to suspect the words used are not as clearly defined as they possibly could be. For example: What is an Esper? In universe, they aren't very clear about what that word refers to. In general, an Esper can be anyone who has gone through the Esper Development Program...however, Level 0s will sometimes refer to people Level 1 or above as 'Espers.' Maybe I'm digging too deep into it.

+To be a bit clearer here: in general, the magic side refers to anyone who went through the Esper Development Program as an ‘Esper’ (consequently, Kamijou is an Esper despite being Level 0). However, Level 0s tend to refer to anyone Level 1 or above as an Esper. So this could just be a failure on the part of the series to communicate the subtle difference (it could also be a failure on the part of the audience (me) to catch the difference).
 Alternative idea I have just come up with: The statistics are intentionally blurred by Academy City. Although I am still leaning towards it being some kind of oversight on the part of the writer, this is the most reasonable in-universe explanation.
