In many cases in the past, such assertions have comes from networks that do not have the hardware capabilities to monitor native IPv6 traffic. I remember one case at the RIPE meeting where someone from AMS-IX observed about one of these presentations, "I have more native IPv6 traffic on my exchange point than you have observed in the entire Internet. How is that possible?" Needless to say, that presentation did not go well. Look at http://www.google.com/intl/en/ipv6/statistics/ That obviously does not see peer-to-peer traffic, but it does see IPv6 web clients, and just under 90% of those are native.
