Default THD claims of audio signal generators

My ancient Heathkit audio signal generator, which uses 3 tubes and a light
bulb in an oscillator circuit, claims to produce sine waves with a total
harmonic distortion less than 0.1%.

My semi-ancient Hewlett-Packard HP202B oscillator only claims to produce THD
less than 1%.

I would have expected the HP instrument to have considerably better
performance specifications because of its much more elaborate circuit.

Are we simply looking at pessimistic vs. optimistic ratings?
