As such I think the issue Oliver is raising is that it would likely be counted as a page view for the article page, even though we don't know whether or not the article will actually be seen or read. However there's no way offhand to know that that page view won't result in a read of the article as well once the media viewer is dismissed. And in general, simply seeing that a data transfer was made tells us nothing about how much attention a human paid to the contents... -- brion
