Probably so. I don't accept anecdotal evidence and even more so I don't accept as evidence people who make decisions "because my neighbor says so". Mobs rarely make rational decisions. Not that authors necessarily constitute a mob but I've seen many who don't make rational decisions. Many refuse to publish their works DRM-free because 'everybody would steal them'. That's despite the evidence that it doesn't happen. So I simply don't believe that authors, as a mass, check the evidence before making marketing decisions.
