That statistic of efficiency probably deals with averages and we should certainly not measure anything against American averages because American waste levels are absurd.

Generally the statistic is based on studies comparing a full dishwasher to washing the same stuff in a sink. The "just in time" handwashing described above is probably more or less the worst case from an efficiency point of view, though.
