Confused with the uni guide data about a level grades of past successful applicants

https://www.theuniguide.co.uk/the-university-of-edinburgh-e56/courses/artificial-intelligence--computer-science-bsc-hons-2024-ea328c1e9550
Like in here, it states that most people get 3 As to get into this course, but isn't the typical offer of edinburgh for this course A*A*A*?
It certainly is the grade of the whole a level, cuz when I look at imperial's, it is 3A*s for a similar course (https://www.theuniguide.co.uk/imperial-college-london-i50/courses/computing-beng-hon-2024-b4c06a2b41af)

so.. um... heh? am I missing on something? Anyone wanna help?

I think i heard that its unreliable because it takes into account contextual offers, clearing places and stuff like that

Its totally misleading.

It doesnt mean 'everyone who got AAA in August was accepted' - nor does it mean 'everyone who was predicted AAA got an offer'.

Its an AVERAGE and includes those with contextual offers, those with mitigating circumstances, on special Uni entry schemes etc etc.

Ignore this data, and just look at the actual entry requirements.
