One thing that’s not mentioned is what error there is in the theoretical calculation and what is the measurement error. From the theoretical POV I’d expect the theory to have an upper and lower limit based on values from initial assumptions. Getting the theory to 8% of the actual value is a pretty big achievement. It’s pretty difficult to predict much simpler, real systems to within 8% let alone something as complex as the expansion of the universe.
