What's the difference between hyperbolism and overstatement?
Hyperbolism
Definition:
(n.) The use of hyperbole.
Example Sentences:

(20) Binding to enterocytes isolated from both normal and chronically hypoxic mice showed a hyperbolic dependence on medium Fe(III) concentration, consistent with a single class of binding sites.
Overstatement
Definition:
(n.) An exaggerated statement or account.
Example Sentences:
(1) It is shown that the overstatement can be quite substantial.
(2) This error has as a consequence an overstatement of the precision of the study, resulting in incorrect P values which indicate a greater measure of statistical significance than the data warrant.
(3) The overstatement was roughly triple Toshiba’s initial estimate.
(4) For every person who takes the fantasy seriously – to call it a prophecy is an overstatement – scores more find it harmless fun.
(5) It is not an overstatement to say we have a brewing crisis.” Placing Bannon on the NSC, with his lack of national security experience, was a “radical” step, Rothkopf said, as the former Breitbart media chairman had shown himself to hold “racist, misogynist and Islamophobic” views.
