Try finding something more relevant than the number of
people clicking a particular distrowatch page everyday.
Keep your venom -- I decline to ingest it. It is easy to cast
stones, but the point remains that there are tangible numbers,
and that the 'one hand' argument is bunk.
I offered the best metric I know of, one which requires
sustained effort to rig, and (having provided both the lead
site's hosting for a while, and also a mirror), I know a bit
about how such 'padding' is detectable with the code then
used.
Find a better metric yourself, and tell us all.
