A comment on 23andMe Informed Me My Husband and I Are Related. Parent comment
To rephrase:
- there were some things in the report that I already knew, it was nice to see confirmation -> points++
- there were some things in the report that I suspected, but wasn't sure about, also nice to see it written black-on-white -> points++
- there were some things in the report which I had no clue about, but were easy to test if they are true or not (they were) -> points++++++++++++++
And to keep it fair: there were also things which didn't really apply at all.
But my point was, because I knew what to observe better, it was easy to keep the relevant stuff and ignore the rest.
