Just on the math rq, 25% almost certainly means 25% of the risk is reduced… therefore 60%->45%

Depends/sometimes.... If it's like you said then 25% of that 60% and you get 60-15=45. If it's some rando looking at 60% total and 35% total and they go "oh neat one of these numbers is 25 bigger/smaller!" Then maybe not?
