Nordics and Irish are even less distinct and it still estimates those (despite the fact I have no known ancestry from Scandinavia).

It's as consistent as you are with difficulty. You're able to answer more easy questions correctly than hard ones, but you also answer some easy ones incorrectly. The SSA is almost surely not noise.

You can always check your GEDmatch to see if there is a consistent SSA percentage. For example Dodecad World9 and MDLP World (not K23b). If you are a colonial i.e. ethnic American, I wouldn't be surprised to see one or two percent black.

It is because they are compared to a smaller area and have more definitive population panels. The problem though is that they are over-fitted so that other populations get those categories without having any ancestry from those populations.
