One expects a significant number of radio-loud quasars with >0.5 Jy at 5 GHz to lie within the 109 high latitude EGRET detection fields (through phase 3) by random chance. It is argued here that most of the marginal detections and obscure radio loud quasars (fluxes at 5 GHz of ≥ 0.5 Jy) are interpreted as likely EGRET detections as a consequence of this coincidence rate and are false detections. A revised EGRET catalog of blazars is presented here. The catalog is used to show that the strongly peaked distribution of γ-ray quasars at ζ≤1 is not indicative of the strong radio-loud quasar population in either 5 or 100 GHz surveys.
