True but some percent do. I have the search terms records. So maybe it was
just the very newbies or you teenagers. Who knows? It is a data point that
I think I can now explain.


Wow, someone disagrees with you and you call them "you teenagers"! A while
back, I noticed much more discussion about the mascot and the term "tux"
was used a lot more. I hardly ever see the term "tux" anymore. Since your
search claims were about a certain set of terms "linux tux wallpaper". It
is likely that the changes in the amount of useage in a term accounts for
the shift in the stats, thus your conclusions are not reliable. Less useage
of a term, less usage of the term for searches, The less you see in your
bogus stats, the stats change, not because of that happens with Linux, but
what happens with the useage of a term. Your logic is flawed and does not
account for other equally likely scenarios.

Also, in statistics, the data you are using comes from a self selecting
sample. Data from self selected samples is considered unreliable in terms
of accuracy. In other words, you can't and don't account for equally likely
scenarios and you use data that is not accurate so your conclusions are BS.
