There is no reason to think that any of these percentages should be
confined to a narrow range of values.
Percentages can also be misleading. X might have 70% in requirements,
30% in coding, while Y has 30% in requirements and 70% in coding.
Subsequent investigation finding that X and Y had the same number
of defects in requirements but very different processes going on
in coding.
