I can't argue with "crazy". I asked a high level person at FTDNA if
"tested" meant the haplogroup designation was confirmed by SNP tests either
done at customer order or by choice of FTDNA, and the person said "correct".
But the appearances of all those asterisks did not enter our discussion ---
my fault --- at the time I was blown away by all the (tested) clutter and
saw little else.
