Who cares? If I could fiddle my GPS to take a million readings every
millisecond, I'd be at the top of the list by now. And if I had a
thousand friends with GPS's all doing the conga down the same bit of
road all day long, I'd be top of the list too. Neither would be
useful.

We could continue this with million-node roundabouts, or thousand
tweaks to a railway station (left-a-bit, right-a-bit). Feel free to
choose which.

Statistics are often useless: doubly so when they are driven by
competition. Please don't get hung up on them - they are only
trivially interesting, and it's not worth worrying about who has who
else helping them or nonsense like that.
