I think it's good to see "extreme" examples because then we may learn how to navigate difficult situations that may come up from time to time in an otherwise smooth OA.
I don't think it means is misrepresented though. I think it probably is difficult almost all the time esp. for birth mothers. I can't imagine how it would be a non-issue for them. But I do think some OA's are certainly smoother sailing than others.
