The 95 percent figure was a direct quote of an email tip we received, which is why it was included as a blockquote. Rick did not research the numbers John mentioned, and I'm sorry if the reader's wording offended you. Like everything else you find on Lifehacker, take or leave it, depending on whether or not the tip helps you." LifeHacker’s reply:
