My figures are wrong because the DOAJ journal count was out-of-date. As of today the DOAJ claims 8917 journals, so the 900 titles the KB is preserving represents about 10% of the journals. The DOAJ claims 1,061,803 articles, so the KB's 92,000 articles is about 8.5% of them.

I believe these numbers substantiate my point, which is that the KB and other approaches have been unable to even ingest much of the content they should be preserving. This means that arguing about "real preservation" is irrelevant to the major cause of loss of value to future readers, namely that the content was never ingested in the first place because no-one could afford to preserve it.
