There is definitely something to these claims. As I mentioned in the PT compatibility thread, the new https://library.playstation.com web site has an API which can query the BC compatibility of PS4 games.

If you put in some of these games they return a state of bootable rather than compatible:

Not sure we can really take that to mean anything at this point, tbh.  Even so only around a 100 that may not work perfectly is pretty dang good.

only thing on that list i really care about is everybody's golf.   but still,.. wtf.
It's hard to know exactly what this means.  
Differentiating between bootable and compatible could mean anything between the game starts to the game is completely finishable with no issues.

Games that are marked bootable might work fine for 99% of people, just have a weird rare game breaking bug that makes it unplayable for 1% of people.

We need more information.
