That's a statement that could provoke some discussion, I suspect.

If you have a look at the questions on help.osm.org you'll see lots of 
"why doesn't X do Y" type questions, but it isn't always immediately 
obvious what X is. Sometimes it's one of the four main layers on 
www.osm.org, but if so very often it's the Cycle Map rather than the 
"standard" layer.  Sometimes the question is asking about some 
completely different website that uses OSM data, and very often it's 
about a mobile application with no connection to OSM whatsoever except 
that it uses OSM data.  Then there are all the "backgrounds for data 
representation" that use OSM data (http://www.whitehouse.gov/change , 
Apple iOS iPhoto, sundry information boards on poles around the world).

I don't know which is the most-viewed rendering of OSM data (either by 
counting pairs of eyes, or by measuring time).  It's actually a very 
interesting question, but the answer's not straightforward.

Cheers,
