    I’ve seen this “78%” figure thrown around but haven’t been able to find the actual source for it. Does anyone know? As far as I can tell, it traces back to the Reddit thread, but I also know that consumer reports aren’t always or even usually made easily available to the general public.

      Well, as many people know, 67% of quoted statistics were made up on the spot based entirely on intuition. Unless a stat lists has a source, I assume someone made it up.

        Based on the 67% you should rather assume every two out of three statistic without source are made up and take one in between at face value.
