Order of magnitude is the crux of the argument, not the exact value. I don't think anyone cares that bitcoin can *theoretically* process 13 tps instead of 7...
TPS Counter: help debunk the "7 tps" myth
Some people like to spread the myth that bitcoin's blockchain can only process 7 transactions per second. example fud:

I made a little webpage to help debunk this myth whenever you see someone say this nonsense:
https://supertestnet.github.io/tps-counter/
For example, today the block with the highest TPS count (so far) is this one which had 7582 transactions in it, which means bitcoin processed about 13 tps (7582 divided by 10 minutes divided by 60 seconds = 7582 / 10 / 60 = 12.6 tps).

Then they should say something like "it can only process on the order of 10 transactions per second." It's not good to state the number is 7 when that undercuts the truth by over 40%.
