I definitely treated my 23andme profile as a piece of entertainment, and don't think people should take it too seriously. I found someone who may be a distant cousin, and a few interesting traits, so I'd consider it a slightly more informed (and similarly priced) palm reading. I'm really glad I approached it like that, because I was one of the people who were in the DNA mixup. They told me I was a Tay-Sachs[1] carrier, which has a potentially vital impact on my relationship decisions (and was also a bit concerning given that neither of my parents are carriers). I'm really glad they caught and fixed it, and that I didn't take it seriously enough to lose sleep over the results.
