The way it's calculated is every decision that has involved VAR that has had a negative outcome.
Dale's explanation as to why it counts as a negative is due to the unusual nature of it; it's to clear it up for people who'd wonder why when there was no obvious reason compared to the other reasons listed above.
It's extremely rare for the referee to not agree with VAR.
Just going off of this earlier tweet, it's extraordinarily unlikely that on over 80 occasions the ref has ignored VAR to give a decision against a team like we saw with Liverpool yesterday.
He also includes this...
Obviously what counts as a subjective decision is...well...subjective, but other than the debatable ones, if the VAR decisions are right, then the number of VAR decisions for and against is irrelevant. As you say, the fact that so many decisions get overturned suggests that they're more likely to get incorrect decisions in their favour by the on-field referee.
