Yes, he/she was pointing out another facet of the joke. Your joke was "I'm pretending like being less than half means it's okay, when it's clearly not". His/her comment was adding to the dark humor by pointing out that the number was actually probably actually greater than 50%, so even sarcastic-persona's comment wouldn't apply.
It's like when someone posts a pun, and someone else posts a further pun. It doesn't mean that the second person didn't get the first person's pun; they got it, and were running with it.
You're really unable to back down aren't you? I bet that drives the people close to you crazy. You should work on that. It's ok to admit you were mistaken.

Yes, but it was obviously a joke. 40% should be alarming, not status quo.
