Shocking DNA Results! Really?

Check out this YouTube video of someone revealing their AncestryDNA test results. I was going to ignore it until she mentioned she was born in Canada.

It's unfortunate that she didn't take the time to look at the uncertainty bars for her "shocking" 12% Iberian. She'd see the range of uncertainty includes 0%. Clearly the uncertainty is too well hidden for this client, and I suspect for many others. Is that deliberate?

Peter: It's easy. Just click on the item in the Ethnicity Estimate table and a small window opens below showing the error bar.
