To draw that as a comparison to the issue on topic is one of the biggest exaggerations I've seen in a while, and you're not usually prone to that sort of thing.
Actually a lot of measurements (post statistics, downloads) and plenty of evidence (D-related posts on reddit) support that hypothesis. The transition was a shock of much higher magnitude than both Walter and I anticipated.
