There is a non-trivial amount of WAN traffic flowing between ISPs' private 
interconnects.  They do not touch NAPs at all.  I wonder if this factor 
is taken into consideration when the 1/3 figure was generated.

If we're talking about WAN traffic (not all IP traffic), then
my estimate is about 70% going through an exchange point.
 
Given MAE-East's central location, 33% seems to be not that far
off the mark (definitely not orders of magnitude).  10% maybe.
