How do you come to that figure?  My guess would be that 95% are right.
 The only objects that may contain a TLID that refers to a different
real life object and don't contain a TLID that refers to the actual
object can be those that (a) underwent very heavy surgery (not simple
splitting or joining, but exchanging tags and geometry with another
object for example) or (b) were fictitious and shouldn't have been in
tiger in the first place.

Most objects have not been touched at all, out of those which have
been touched by a mapper, most have been changed using common sense to
find the shortest path to make the object correct (e.g. change
street's name tag and leave geometry mostly alone or change geometry
and leave the name alone, splitting, joining, etc)
