I think this might have been the case early on. Now it seems the reality is more nuanced.

Now the default discourages bedsharing, but we know and can witness personally the many positive effects. The warning causes us to be more conscientious about doing it if we choose to, and for those who default to obeisance they are in their minds making the responsible choice.

Because of the social stigma, those who do bedsharing responsibly are not being accurately reflected in the data, causing only those careless enough to admit it to be captured.
