>>>Where do you see the 30% figure?

>LOL, I cherry picked Elliott Philipp's figure from Southern England. However, there's also a 1999 study by the American Blood Bank Association showing that of about 300,000 tests to determine paternity, in 30% the man tested wasn't the father. That's a skewed sample, but Philipp's wasn't. (His was just small and a long time ago. ;-))

Turns out there's a useful-looking Wiki page on this topic: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misattributed_paternity

It does seem that Philipp's study was, ahem, "seminal" ;)
