I’m honestly not sure these webcasters full understood what “census reporting” entailed. I think they have the anecdotal “every now and then” idea of “census” in their mind, when in fact it is indeed everything, all the time-style reporting.

I’d also bet good money SE doesn’t have even the beginnings of the kind of infrastructure in place they’re going to need to deal with all this incoming data.
