Best I can find is section four here: http://www.utdallas.edu/~assmann/hcs6367/lippmann97.pdf

It seems to be significantly less than 1% - 1.6%

No you looked at the wrong figure. It's figure 7 (Switchboard) and the WER for humans is 4%.

No, if you look that's only the CC component of the test, with and without context; not the whole test.
