Because it is squared in the calculations they conclude 0.25, but the real value is 1.

Thank you.

Then let me try to understand. From our reference frame rescaling is real time, but the time delay for light to reach us from distant galaxies reveals only the rescaling that had taken place at the origin when the photons were emitted? So the redshift is a combination of rescaling at the source and the recession of the source?
