The claim being discussed is not that they didn’t account for it, but that they didn’t attempt to account for it. Reading that text, I think they did, but chose not to include it (I guess because they didn’t need to to make their point and, by not including it, avoided opponents from arguing about the validity of the result based on uncertainties in those models)
I don't get the distinction you're trying to make. It seems to me they considered it, but did not even attempt to account for it.
They admitted limitations of the data/research they had available. Their model explicitly does not attempt to account for it.
Is it fair to say they account for it, but don’t try to quantify if?
it did not factor into their models at all. They simply mentioned it. Mostly as an asterisk for why their models are likely an underestimation
