I think part of why they used twins is to say its two different people so they'd have to treat it different.
I'm actually curious how repeatable the results are. If they are using sampling of portions of the DNA (are they?) how much variability is there in a single dna sampling enun through the algorithm 10 times? Similarly for how much variability in 10 dna samples from the same person?

Not if you sign-up with someone else's identity and pay with a different card. I very much doubt they go to any effort to verify the human the sample came from is the same human who paid and who the results are set to be sent to.
