Yeah, uhh huh...anybody credible ever verify these totals?

Outside of the Swiss, who are frugal, I'd like to see a full physical count!

Even a physical count won't help. Much of the gold is encumbered and "leased" to other parties.  Of course, when SHTF the people with the phyiscal possession are going to have a leg up.
