I too want to see proof of this. It goes against this statement:

"Overall, however, we expect this security measure to impact only a fraction of listings."

Also:

"most bidding occurs in the final 12 hours of a listing"

I really can't disagree with this statement. I find that ALL of my listings get the most activity on the last day. Even if my listings only showed up for 6 days, I doubt there would be any impact to their outcome. I've even started thinking about running them for 5 days, because they sit for 7 days and do nothing. Even the counts don't really go up on many of them for the first 6 days. It's all in the last day.
