Cross referencing that information with that of literally thousands spidered videos on torrent sites, rapidshare, forums and usenet with the member database, and finding the above stated correlation, I'd say that I've got fairly hard data.

You don't have to believe me, and I did come off more beligerant in my original post than intended - I'm simply trying to offer some insight into what seems to be a logical, but incorrect assumption.
