Yea all these commercial tests are novelty, even Y and M downstream clade tests aren't 100% accurate.

So they show wrong, too high values because most people can't afford full genome test? I don't understand such logic maybe for you is ok.
So someone could create website which would show wrong medical predictions, and they excuse would be they do it for people without full genome test?
There will always be false segments, but you have to look all this as statistics. Weather forecast can't say exactly where rain drops fall, but it can say that rain is coming. Davidski maybe is now overjoyed because MTA equates Langobards and Goths with ancient Scandinavians. He has always objected it.
And I wrote also about statistical noise. Some ones believe, even researchers, that the IBD noise level is fixed, around 1-2 cM or something near it. But it is not true. IBD noise depends on the population, the effective population size. In big populations the noise level can be very low, but for example Saamis' IBD noise is around 3-4 cM. Then those centromere fixations make sure exceptions. And some commercial testers delete chromosomal areas to avoid unwanted results following purely their false historical ideas.
I always wondered why Eastern Europeans care so much about such stuff. I mean, I did a DNA test and all, but it's a pastime to me. Nothing more and not really important.
It seems they have big identity issues there. Look at member Peterski, nigga is complexed as a mixed/mongrel Latino even being 100% European.
