I understand your reasoning behind that statement, but WWE gatcha is old news. This is tasty fresh meat. I just feel that people rush forward with whatever bait they're given without actually dissecting it.
But as I said, I am not in the US so maybe things are different there. Maybe censoring account numbers on statements is normal. Maybe banks ask for the first X amount of digits to verify. Maybe formatting errors on documents from billion dollar banking corporations is normal.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Can you point out what you believe to be a formatting error in these documents? If you're referring to the narrow columns on the Experian report, that's an artifact of the person who made it taking a webpage and "Printing" it as a PDF, which involves restricting the format to letter-size paper.
Hiding part of account numbers is completely normal CYA protocol, especially for credit reports, which can be made available for any merchant or lender who wants to see if they should do business with the subject of the credit report.
EDIT: Like banks will send letters to you, about your bank account, with half of the account number obscured.
