John...
This DNA Print variation is still not resolved....we have been assuming for
quite awhile and even the
founder now seems to be misinterpreted....
DNA print appears to be a cloud in the sky that we all recognize to be real
and of substance but keeps changing shape with the wind...
What gives ?

I hope that's not what Tony meant to say -- it's simply not true. Of
course, a few failed markers should not make a large difference in the
result (unless they happened to be particularly "informative" markers),
but the difference between a 30 and a 71 or between two independent
71's would be on the scale of the statistical uncertainty of the 71.
