Oh, yoohoo, Mr. correlation/causation! I went out of my way to say in my post that there is **not proof**, though I *thought* it more possible than not, because we know about audience response, not holiday shopping, and we know of other instances where it has influenced network decisions.

My point remains that you have absolutely no evidence to connect the two things you are connecting. Not a shred, not a suggestion. Nothing.
And I doubt I'm going to make you understand that.
