Confusion was simply about how poor the quote/stats presentation was. It's possible it was meant the way Peter and vinney (and myself originally) read it, accurate or not, but the more I read it I saw what looked like dishonest stats. Why I say I agree with you nitpicking.
As for all the rest, I don't know all that much about it, just what I hear online now and then. I'll check out your links briefly though, then move on with my life
