Thats exactly it. Some of them probably "don't want to know".
I think the 70-80% thing just kind of floats around as a justificiation of sorts for the continued usage of such a risky treatment.
Medical texts and literature aren't alwasy accurate. For instance, for the longest time, SSRI's only caused sexual dysfunction 10% of the time (as quoted on product inserts). In reality, probably more like 3/4 of SSRI users experience some form of sexual dysfunction.
