People don't tend to discount condoms as a method of birth control given perfect and typical use rates the way they do withdrawal even though the typical use failure rates of both methods are very close to each other. I daresay the same goes to most forms of contraception I can think of. If this study can help dispel some myths, so be it. I'm tired of women I know thinking that cervical caps or spermicide or even the female condom have lower typical use failure rates when they don't. Possibly the biggest potential downside I can see in publicizing this story is that some people might think it an acceptable substitute when there is nothing else, which is not good given that some barrier methods can prevent transmission of some STDs.
