It's a good question and all the points you made are correct. One of the problems with data that has been published by others that is based on member websites (private or public) where people are anonymous, they come and go, and their survey answers on adherence, diet, etc are often anecdotal and not being directly measured
As Jim said,
This is part of the confusion we see constatntly on the forums. The MWL weigh in group should really be for those following MWL. Of course, all are welcome to contribute but the weigh in group numbers in the MWL forum should be for those following MWL.
... which I think is reflected in the welcome message.
