This is not semantics, interpreting clearly stated numbers and definitions of basic terms badly to get a mortality rate that's almost four times larger than the case is simply wrong, and much more harmful than stating lower but more accurate numbers. I have no idea where you got your definition of CFR from or how you interpreted it like that, but CFR does not measure deaths as a percentage of resolved cases, it measures deaths as a percentage of all cases so far during a given period of time (in this case since the pandemic started). This is how it has been widely understood in discussions of CFR per country among all affected countries and you can find these figures on many different serious websites, with the percentages of fatalities clearly stated as CFR numbers that are based off all cases so far in any given country (Italy or Spain, for example). If this is mistaken, someone please do correct me and show me where it's claimed otherwise. If im wrong then, for example, nobody would be talking about Italy's CFR of 10%, they'd be discussing a different and considerably higher percentage derived only from resolved cases in that country vs its total deaths to-date.
My source for the CFR represents the totality of real information the world has presented us to date.
"A CFR can only be considered final when all the cases have been resolved (either died or recovered). The preliminary CFR, for example, during the course of an outbreak with a high daily increase and long resolution time would be substantially lower than the final CFR."
