I don't think it's overly pedantic or even really pedantic at all as there's only one reason for any author to make such assumptions knowing full well that it won't hold for the entire audience. (The reason being editorializing the title to make it sound more appealing than it might otherwise be)
What's wrong with "9000 RPM is faster than my screen refreshes" or "9000 RPM is faster than most screen refreshes" or "9000 RPM is faster than an average screen refreshes"?
"Shocking" news that is anything but. "Little known facts" that are widely known. "Mistakes your making with ..." that you've never once made. It's all just trying to get you to consume the content.
