Interesting the way you phrased that with the "if" and "wouldn't" - but of course, we don't have to make suppositions as the evidence of what he said quite clearly says that it wasn't. So let's not go down the road of bashing on non-existent evidence, and instead choose to look at the facts we have, and an awareness of the facts we don't.
"As of right now" couldn't be clearer that the measurement was made at the time of the posting which, from the timestamp, we can tell is not at the time he awoke. Assuming he was posting from the DFW area (based on profile's location), it would have been at 10:10am his local time, putting it at over 8 hours off the charger.
At this point, it's clear that your evaluation can be tossed completely since it is based on fiction, not observing the facts as presented, and we can go back to gmermel's point that we need more information. Choosing to ignore other impacting factors and denounce performance would be like berating an SUV for having had low driving range on a single tank but claiming that whether or not it were carrying 5 passengers with a camper in tow bears no relevance.
A sampling of absolutely relevant information, knowledge of which would help craft a better idea of actual quality of performance: screenshot of battery stats/utilization; display brightness; actual phone screen-on time (which could have easily been up to two hours); how specifically the screen on-time was incurred (big difference between gaming and browsing); strength of network signal; background synchronizations / automatic updates; and so forth.
So your call-to-action is that we should all disregard any empirical evidence that might be gathered to help people better understand how their personal experience might be expected to differ from another based on differentiating factors of use, and that we should instead conform to the view you wish us to take.
Personally I prefer facts over bias, but to each his own.
