This is awesome and completely retconning a 10 year old project for me. I was working on social media analytics at Disney and we were exploring ways to measure twitter conversation of our brands, which led to us attempting to estimate total conversation volume, which is why this technical nuance was relevant to us. It was a wildly experimental time. Thanks for the story!

Agree, was super excited when I saw reference to the German tank problem as that is immediately what I thought of in the first post.

I dream of the day in the future, possibly in Eden, when I'll have opportunity to discuss the things I've reverse engineered with the guys and gals who actually engineered them. This conversation in enlightening to witness.

I will have an especially hard time phrasing questions in a respectful manner for the Adobe devs, though ))
