If I had an investment account that would give me $10k per year, it would be worth about $125k. If I was entitled to $10k a year through a pension, wouldnt it be fair to say that entitlement is an asset that's worth (at least a portion of) that same value?

They could have left a naked "average" at the end of the sentence and it would have made sense to assume 'appropriate methods'. They could have thrown in an appropriate qualifier do describe the cohort they're comparing him to "most people approaching retirement age."
They chose to say "the average American" which makes the statement somewhere between misleading and an outright fabrication.
