Dan,

I thought I was paying attention, but apparently I wasn't. Thanks for
alerting us to this insidious problem.

Unfortunately a concern for claims that might not prove true has to
include the one you've just made.

So it would help for you to provide some outside substantiation for it.
 A professional study on the problem would help quite a bit.  Anecdotal
media reporting probably won't.
