Your argument makes sense as a generic statement, but we don’t need a statistically significant sample here. The behaviour described is a logical consequence of how the network and application layers interact and will be seen by anyone with a similar setup, not a natural event that demands more data.

- geofft 8y agoSure there is—it is my experience as a website operator and as someone familiar with the field of website operation that architectures like theirs are more common than architectures unlike theirs. Professional experience is a (highly compensated) form of gathering data.

Who’s right?
