What senior contributer said that? If 95% of the water (by mass) is converted to steam then Rossi's claims are 95% right. (Well, ignoring discrepancies in flow rate and input power.) What is true is that if the output is 5 % liquid by *volume*, then Rossi's claims are 6 or 7 times too high. Because 5% liquid by volume corresponds to 99 % liquid by mass.
