This is a very interesting story and people should know about this. People from different races sharing similar DNA profiles with as many as 13 points of comparison.
Excerpt:
A discovery leads to questions about whether the odds of people sharing genetic profiles are sometimes higher than portrayed. Calling the finding meaningless, the FBI has sought to block such inquiry.

I think that this interesting and I agree that DNA shouldn't be the whole kit and caboodle. But what happens when that is what sets a man free--it's only the difference in DNA. Now one can question if that's even reliable.
I think DNA is reliable but it needs to be 'read' correctly and not done half heartedly because no one has the same DNA. There are differences as long as the hard work is put in to show what the differences are I don't really see an issue here. I guess it's because they don't put in the hard work that there's an actual problem going on.
I also think that one in 1 billion is a high number that is close to the so what marker, but still it has relevance and should be addressed, as should all questions of problems be.
