Even if 115% resulted from a mis-keying (which it seems it did) it is still a material error, as it provides an incorrect fact and thus needs immediate rectification.
My clients were highly intolerant of any error that showed their business in a bad/sloppy light, but I do respect your right to hold a different opinion.
If one of my IT Project Managers called this a material defect, I'd be looking for a new IT Project Manager. Perhaps our understanding of material is different though.
Its a cosmetic (P4) defect. P3 at worst, since it might confuse the very few people who looked at that page for the 2-3 days it was wrong.
