It is circumstantial at best. Correlation without causation. Without more information, We know that we can't look at what occurs in open play alone. There's a huge debate over the affect of solo and private group players on powerplay and the BGS. I'm not saying you shouldn't go and look for more proof but we shouldn't ignore the bulk of issues that could explain any correlation and are beyond our control.
now here's another point i've come to learn about
I've done the calculations myself which you can view on my spreadsheet to check my date and an person or group would have to undermine 22-23 of the furthest or highest profit systems to force us into turmoil.
Now we don't fortify every system every cycle. we tend to leave around 7 systems unfortified per cycle. sometimes more, sometimes less. They tend to be the weakest systems but sometimes we slip. In the case i tested where the 7 systems that aren't fortified were our weakest systems It would take at least 11 specific systems to be undermined to force us into turmoil.
I'd like to introduce a new concept, let's call it impractimining.
The act of impractically undermining to no eventual effect.
If this one person was really undermining, there'd need to be a lot more undermining to actually force us into turmoil. One of the things the black hand is known for is their ability to undermine effectively towards an end result, Not impractimine, mind you, undermine.
If a member of the black hand was really attempting to undermine, it would take an incredible about of effort to get it down that it would be impractical. Because it is highly impractical, and we know that members of the black hand don't engage in impractimining, (unless they do then they're not doing anything because it's still impractical), then they probably are not be engaged in an act of undermining.
