Figure 3 shows that the incidence of magnetic suppression increases with  mass, with red giants above 1.6\msol\ showing a remarkable suppression rate  of 50-60\%. These have evolved from main-sequence A-type stars, among which  only up to $\approx 10$\% are observed to have strong fields at their  surfaces \citep{2008CoSka..38..443P}. (see Methods for details:  DISUCSSION OF WHY NOT 100\% AND OR LINKS TO ROTATION AS REFEREE ALLUDES  TO...COULD ALSO BE REFERED TO AFTER 2nd LAST PARA)  We conclude that these magnetic A stars represent only the tip of the  iceberg, and that a much larger fraction of A stars have strong magnetic  fields hidden in their cores.
