Yes it may have been a typo in the quoted book, and Dennet just went with it... although most of his argument seems to rest upon the actual 50ms blink duration, which disregards the 5% detail.

Why are you so hung on a somewhat non important mathematical detail?

I don't know. Probably because it led me down the rabbit hole of math and I couldn't come to the same conclusion, which frustrated me. But you're right, it is pretty trivial.
