Again, CyberArk != FBI and 47 != 70.

You missed the point - if 47% are doing things that are quite possibly ECPA
offenses, they could *easily* total 70% of *all* the incidents *all by
themselves*.

Assume 5 sysadmins at a company. If 1 out of 3 snoop, the probability that
*none* of them snoop is (2/3)**5 or only 0.13 or so.

At that point, an average 87% of all companies have ECPA offenses committed
by insiders.  At that point, you're needing to *dilute* the insider percentage,
not pump it up.
