> "a unique opportunity arose to evaluate the volume of **Whirlpool users** dependent on Samourai's self-hosted public node." 

> "**Whirlpool users**' continuing remixes without interruption constituted 85-90% of the total user base actively mixing before the downtime."

> "This data provides a transparent and verifiable metric, measuring the volume of **Whirlpool users** reliant on Samourai Wallet's public node, a figure now confirmed to be a minority of only 10-15% of the **Whirlpool community**."

Even if it did give you hard metrics about their public node usage by *wallet users*, you would have to trust them. You can't see how they twist the info to stroke their rabid user base's emotional  fragility?
