I don't think Sue said "Wikipedia is the fifth most visited website". Its 'Wikimedia Foundation sites' in comScore data.
I don't think you did your homework.
From http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Template:2010/SueLetterC/en:
We are the number five website in the world, with more than 400 million readers per month.
That was a personal appeal from Sue.
If you search wikimediafoundation.org for references to "fifth most", you'll find plenty of results from Sue, Jimmy, Veronique, Erik, and others calling Wikipedia the fifth most visited site in the world (it's in the general FAQ, the Annual Plan FAQ, a recent press release, and in several job openings postings that I can see off-hand).
What was your point again?

I only meant in the previous post which I quoted. I didn't know you were referring to off-list mentions of "fifth most".
I agree that there needs to be clarification on the usage of "fifth most" on wmf wiki at least.
