That's not accurate, since one or other can special/critical/fail when the other doesn't. This statistic appears to assume they both have the same 'DoS' at the same time, which ain't necessarily so. If you examine the odds properly I think you'll find it's similar to the contentious MRQ method.

Not as simple as it could/should be, and awfully unrealistic too. A parried hit is
not simply a miss - it's a different event in it's own right, and could/should have different effects.
