That is a thoughtful review of the landscape (which may be another way of
saying that I agree with him on most things). It raises one question I have
been thinking about a bit:

If the three talk shows consistently end up in a fairly tightly bunch
group, with Leno around 3.1M, Kimmel around 3.0M and Dave around 2.9M
(these are the numbers, based on my unreliable memory, for I think Kimmel's
first night at 11:35 on Tuesday), would that really be bad for Dave? If one
looks at the three main broadcast networks at 11:35 over recent history, I
think one would find basically that same order (NBC, ABC, CBS), with
occasional shifts. Would it make a big different if Dave is 3rd to two
other talk shows rather than being 3rd to one talk show and one news show?
