Similarly, Australia had problems when Netflix was first becoming popular here, putting huge strains on the network and causing widespread congestion issues from 6 to 10 pm. I wonder if we'll ever see a predictive home-caching system;

I don't know how you can "deliver" such snark; if you gave 100 people shots and 30 developed clots, by your erroneous reasoning, N = 30. What matters is the number of clots relative to the normal (incidence) rate, and the odd
