The "study" says that "nearly 20 percent of email does not get delivered to
the inbox as intended, largely because it gets mistaken as spam."

Somewhere around 85% of all mail attempts to us are summarily rejected because
the source is in some block list or other, resulting in the spam not being
delivered to our user's inboxes as the spammer intended, largely because it
is recognized as spam.

Statistics are what you read into them....

CNN recently reported that 90% of all email on the internet is spam.
