Let me simplify.
Docs wanted to do surgery on my 88-yr-old mother to clear out the plaque on her carotid artery. They told her it would reduce her chances of having a stroke by 50%. Hmmm. So I asked what they said was her current risk: 12% chance. And with the surgery? 6%. Hence 50% relative risk reduction, yet only 6% absolute.
Did I get my calcs right?

Yes.

I have seen here and other places that olive oil and lemon juice is an amazing artery cleanser

I have been using for months now but I do not have an artery analyzer so I have no idea what the progress is.
I can tell you that bowel moments are great! 🤣
J. From what you say, it sounds right to me...
