Suspect it's a matter of using very selective statistics. Probably tonnage sunk divided by number of sorties without factoring in the large fraction of the RN covering convoys, on anti-raider duties, etc. etc...Citation needed.
Of cause, we've seen a suspiciously similar argument from one esl (TBH, a suspiciously similar user-name to the latest acolyte of the pinnaped) quite a few years back. Turned out that burnt down to "If you count Germans torpedoing neutral coast defense vessels, or German destroyers running from British minesweepers after inflicting minor damage to a single minesweeper as victories over the RN while not calling German Battlecruisers being beaten off by an inferior force and taking significant damage in the process, or, a German heavy cruiser fighting a long range duel with a British light cruiser and then withdrawing rather than attacking the convoy British victories..." combined with the "But Bismarck was scuttled thereby invalidating the entire battered to immobile hulk thing, thus not a British victory".
