I hope soccertese is right. But... if the only goal the FDA had was to modify the way 23andMe reports risk, I have to wonder why their warning letter halts sales.... not risk reporting.

Exactly and well put. Maybe the FDA will require all 23and Me customers to pass a statistics course before testing !
