Actually the reason I posted about it was because this list seems
to have a lot of anecdotes on this topic and little or no data.

Flippant, that's quite possible:-)

Arrogant? Really? Apologies if I was, but that's surprising.

Anyway, feel free to produce better peer-reviewed data. I'm sure
the state of the art in this space is evolving rapidly, and it's
probably fair to say that it's still somewhat early days in
Internet measurement in general (or when we look back in a few
years, I figure we'll think that).

But studies like these are still (for me anyway) far more worth
paying attention to than yet more anecdotes and prognostications.
