Why do you make a presumption when you could just give us the proof?
The burden of proof is always on the one making extraordinary claims. That would be you

1) D&B data is found on the manta.com website.
2) I found gov in the database of companies and
3) so have MANY other people on the internet.
4) This is not extraordinary by any means.

1) ...along with other data. Duh./
You don't understand what that site is. It's like yellow pages. It lists businesses, government offices, you can find a police station if you're inclined.
Unless you feel that the majority of the people agree that US gov. is a privately held corporation, you are making what's termed as "extraordinary claim."
If you feel that the majority agrees with you, then you had no reason to bring it up.
Again, how old are you? I would accuse you of pedantry, but I'm afraid the word might send you on another aspy tangent
