I think there's something wrong with your second figure - 2000 meters is approximately 200 atmospheres pressure (the increase is 1 atmosphere per ten meters). Yes, it over 400,000/lb/ft2 which is ~3000psi (14.7 psi at 1/atm * 200). I think you mixed units there.
I think you're right. The internet has lied to me yet again. Bastards.

I don't think my splattered remains would care whether it was by 200atm or 400atm though.
