So, just to underscore: this article is from 2006 and the "up to 50 percent" figure that it cites and that I repeated in my tweet is speculative. And one tweeter showed data from Greenwich, Conn. that year showing that the actual figure was 13 percent. Much lower than suggested.
Nonetheless, the whole thread has turned into an interesting and fairly nuanced convo on the question, so I'm not deleting it even though it contains what is likely to be misleading speculation.
Perhaps at some point I'll investigate and write on the subject -- it is of interest to me. For now, it's just a thing I'm throwing out for conversational purposes as at the watercolor and may call for future revision.
13% still is 13% higher than would be permissible in a rational system.
