I was glad to have your statistics to hand in making my point. It's one thing for me to average up my own rates -- I don't know what it is overall, but I know I've got a few stories that were rejected more than two dozen times before selling, and I think I have one creeping up toward thirty that I keep refusing to trunk -- but it's another thing to show what a Really Successful Writer looks like. :-)
The boundaries between the two will probably vary widely depending on who you ask. I'm mostly trying to speak to the cases where somebody would see a barrier in moving toward pro-fic. I remember my own first, fumbling moves toward figuring out who to send my work to and how -- and I was lucky in that I always had a decent degree of confidence in my work to begin with. A lot of people don't, and therefore benefit from help on that front, too.
