What I’m hearing from you is that because some of the numbers are faked then the entire data set is unreliable and you don’t believe this information that is coming in.
That’s fine.
I guess I thought given your assertion you had … more.
The data is unreliable. If we knew how much of the data was faked we could compensate for it, but we don’t. We could discard the outliers, but we don’t know if we’re discarding valid data, and someone who is deliberately tainting the dataset would submit a bunch of samples that are only a little bit off as well.
And while some of the numbers must be from trolls, manufacturers (and shady investors) are heavily incentvized to sway the listings.

Basically it’s your feeling.
