Unless you can show that the servers were actually offline, you're blowing smoke.

You're the one making the extraordinary claim that Netcraft uptime doesn't correspond to the amount of time servers are actually running, responding to requests. You're the one who came up with a rediculous scenario that servers are taken down to update content, a practice I haven't even heard of while dealing with or running Web servers since 1995. You need to show proof.
