I don't want anyone mistake my position on compensation seeking/disability. What you are speaking to (pop differences) still doesn't mean validity scales should infer motive without outside evidence. For instance, severe pathology elevates, which occurs more frequently even in those with legit injury. And the cry for help is junk.
