I was aware of this, hence why 13 was mentioned in contrast.
"many" need not be the majority though, nor necessarily correct, only "a 
sizeable minority".

much like saying "many people use Linux", despite most people using 
Windows...

there are similar things prone to vary, such as:
how many is "a couple"? "a few"? or "a handful"? (*1)
is "a dozen" necessarily 12? (rather then 10, 13, or 14)
...

*1: yes, there are people who use these terms and expect a certain 
number. it leads to frustration, personally, as I think of most of these 
as "something greater than 1", whereas I know of someone who thinks: 
"couple"=3, "few"=4, and "handful"=5.
