But people have sent the same genetic material to multiple of these and gotten completely different results. They really aren't that accurate.

Completely different results (outside of error margin) for running the same test? Do you have a source on that?

The different results might just be a simple matter of different tests testing different things. Some companies, like 23, test your mother's DNA. Some tests go through your father (but only work if you're a guy). Ancestry.com is supposed to test in a variety of ways. It's a fact that you'll get different results depending on the test you take, but that's because they are "going back" in different ways and doesn't make them wrong, but you also may not be getting the full story if, say, you only go back through all female or all male DNA.

That doesn't sound that inaccurate to me. Two of the 4 groups (1 set of triplets and the quads) had tests that agreed with each other (a couple of percentage points here or there isn't a problem). The other two sets of triplets agreed less, but it's still not that far off. It's not like one got 20% German and another got 60% German.
