No reason to get nasty.  This is serious.  There is no FBI research to
support the "70% Lie". Probably never has been and never will be.  No
one can cite the "original research" because it doesn't exist.  It is
myth.  It is urban legend.

But it makes good copy, so what the heck, eh?

Besides, n3td3v is a Brit, isn't he?  Why would he care about the FBI?
