You are exactly right my friend!...and you can bet that those that ordered the study won't say a word about it now - particularly when the results weren't what they expected....
amazing isnt it!So, the BATFE's assertion that:
“...anonymity of the internet makes it an ideal means for prohibited individuals to obtain illegal firearms.”, and
Bloomberg's claim that:
"...62 percent of private sellers were willing to proceed with a sale, even if the prospective purchaser could not pass a background check."
aren't likely accurate?
Absolutely shocking!! (Unless you live in the real world of law-abiding gun owners).

There was a post on this site a few months ago by a guy who backed out of selling a gun to someone who sounds exactly like this story described.
Details were something like the purchaser lived out of state, but was soon moving into the seller's state, and he wanted the seller to sell the gun to his sister (wife / girlfriend / ??) instead so that she could hold it for him until he moved.
Anyway the deal just didn't seem right. Besides being technically illegal (a crime in fact), the seller didn't feel right about it and just dropped the whole idea.
He wrote about it here. I think I replied, but can't find that post. Perhaps someone recalls what I'm talking about. I don't recall the exact details. Anyway, it sounds like it might have been an example of this very attempt.
