On the Anonymity of Home/Work Location Pairs. Most people can be uniquely identified by the rough location of their home combined with the rough location of their work. US Census data shows that 5% of people can be uniquely identified by this combination even at just census tract level (1,500 people).
I don't think "Most people" and "5% of people" are the same thing dude :)
Still, I like your blog :)

Most people referred to the much larger group who can be roughly identified by their home/work location pair (to within a small group of people sharing the same pair). The 5% are the people for whom that group has a size of one.
