Whatever the number is - and there's no meaningful difference between 97 and 98% - there have been many, many studies over the years that have all found quite similar numbers. Many of them are referred to in this article...

*sigh* Do you know how absurd this sounds? It's like saying "today is warmer than yesterday therefore it cannot be autumn". :rolleyes:
