I can get on board with this...so you are suggesting the usage isn't new, but the frequency changed can be attributed to the scope change, so the frequency is associated with all of the new cases that the new scope encompasses, which in hind sight I'm surprised that didn't occur to me already, it's pretty obvious. I'm probably a bit hampered by the preexisting dislike for the aforementioned association though. Is there a reliable way to determine the difference in frequency versus the difference in usage, or is the frequency multiplier already based on usage? Or maybe I am trying to ask if there is any way to get a sense of what the 17x is in relation to, ie. what is it 17x more than...if someone said the word "example" was used 17x more than it was six weeks ago, I would know that baseline by experience, but for something like "shipped" it's not as straight forward.
