They addressed the concern in the study's methodology anyway: they used the exact same questions and parental-reporting standards that the CDC uses for their overall incidence statistics. I don't know what problem they saw with the county they thought was abnormal, but they provided the numbers with it both included and excluded, and the difference was still there.
