The 76% was from his competition score. It's a measure of the keyboards actual output, not the error rate of the typist. Any corrections the keyboard makes are already accounted for.

Not if multi-step words are handled by writing the wrong thing first, then deleting and replacing it when the second set of inputs comes in. Which is a very common strategy for implementing chorded keyboards.
