Seemed like gobble de gook to me, the way it was written.

Perhaps a better written, logical point would have been to say that people who anticipate that these tests will give you
an actual family tree will be disappointed? One of the article links pointed out that you might get, for an example,
something indicating who your 16th great grandmother was, but that she would only be one of many 16th great grandmothers.

Well, no! DUH.

I don't think these articles were worth anything for anyone with a concept of genealogy.
