Thats not how science is done. The existence of low-confidence studies that produce outliers is not the same as saying a literature review has consensus within that range.
No reasonable person would look at the literature on this and assert that ANY of the numbers have enough confidence to start telling the general public figures. The only responsible response is "We dont know what the figures are but the highest confidence studies are in the 15% and less range, and almost all studies show very little consensus"
