They also didn't arbitrarily pick, they very clearly, without ambiguity say "total number of civilizations in the Milky Way right now = 0.014" as the low probability. Not a galaxy similar to the Milky Way, not 1 billion years ago. Right now.

Obviously the chart is wrong, in that the number should be 1, or the text should say "a Galaxy similar to the Milky Way" or probably most accurately, "probability of a technologically advanced civilization in a Galaxy similar to the Milky Way existing right now". But it doesn't, so I'm right.

Well you clearly don't know what arbitrary means, or how probability works, so no, you are not right.
