Why it worked

Uses concrete numbers instead of vague claims, which makes it credible and quotable.
Ends on a question, which is the most reliable way to turn readers into repliers.
Short enough to read in full without expanding, which removes a step before the point lands.
Quotes someone directly, which makes the moment concrete rather than summarised.
