Keep the numerical wording discrepancy open. In-sample group separation cannot be reported as a validated identification success rate.
The 53/58 wording needs reconciliation against PDF and supplementary material. Do not convert explained variance or visible separation into prediction accuracy.
Results report 58 detected elements and 23 with significant type differences. The abstract instead refers to 53 elements. CVA separates groups in the study sample; the article does not report an external held-out authentication accuracy.
