That's true, but it still has to skew the numbers.

And, less face it, if your marriage was in great shape you wouldn't be buying an over the counter paternity test, would you?

Indeed, and that's where things become interesting:

Will there be child support claims made against biological fathers from those who turn out to be social ones?

Could we subsequently see DNA tests on aborted foetuses / foetii (?) to see who was indeed the father?

Do you [Bart] have a blog where you post about porn business / website stuff BTW? The comments you have made around your work are fascinating from a sociological and philosophical perspective IMO.

After all, in Plato's Republic children wouldn't know or care who their parents were.

I think the generally reported figure is 1 in 10, but I can't recall the source.

Which is still a lot larger than 1 in 25.

That's the figure we were taught at medical school.
