There is a misconception that one can prove what breed a horse is by 
DNA--according to geneticists, this is not true. What you CAN prove or 
disprove is that horse A and horse B are or are not the parents of horse C.  
Period.  And if a program is in jeopardy because of that, then by golly, it 
SHOULD be!
