100k to 200k is a 100% increase in absolute, but a 10 percentage point increase to your target of 1M. The difference between the example you give and the one in the article is that 0 in the case of your pension meaningfully refers to its emptiness, but in the case of Celsius, it has no "emptiness" interpretation.
The equivalent would be saying that going from 600k to 700k was a 100% increase... compared to 500k.
It's not completely meaningless, to be fair. Saying 10°C to 20°C is a 100% increase has the meaning of "it's twice as far from freezing", which isn't totally meaningless (kind of like saying Everest is twice as high as Mont Blanc, which really means "its summit is twice as far from sea level").
