Yea when I looked up the wiki on it and read the DNA test on his, what, (8 x great) grandchild showing matching DNA, my first thoughts were "no way you could narrow it down to a single Jefferson through his 8th-gen descendant. At best, you could say it was *a* Jefferson" which is what the video says.
Yea seems like sensationalism. The reason I never really looked into it deeply is that it doesn't matter - if the best you can do is 1 example throughout all of history stacked against the millions of counter examples, you don't have a case for your claim.
