My position is "you don't have enough data" so I don't need data to support my position. The only way to know if you're right is with time, and since 100 other factors are also evolving with time, whatever the outcome can always be blamed on something else. Yes, it sucks for both of us.

I don't think the stats on one release are enough to show a correlation in the entire industry, and I don't think a correlation in the entire industry is enough to show a causation.
