If we know the 25% figure was a fabrication, doesn't it lead you to suspect the rest of the story? I've read plenty about the lack of veracity in the story. It was fairly widespread right after the story came out, naturally.

Unfortunately, as I didn't anticipate having this discussion with you, I've not made photocopies or saved bookmarks about those stories. However, as you're the one who's posting statistics and stories that have been publicly refuted, it would be incumbent upon you (and your credibility) to look into it and make sure you know the whole story.

Well whether or not that particular statistic in that particular article was debunked or not, based on a google search, the story still has merit and apparently "bug chasing" is a very real phenomena. After looking at some of the references it appears that the only real point of dispute was the number.
