The professor omitted the sole interesting number: what percentage of students choose 6 points. Is it typically 15% or is it typically 80%?

It makes a huge difference. Most likely, it's a percentage low enough to indicate that the 10% threshold is carefully chosen. Otherwise he'd tell us.

This is evidence that he has an agenda to promote (that people are too selfish), and that the facts don't support his agenda (most people actually cooperate). So he omits the facts.
