My guess is that a professional analyst is not going to be particularly confused by the addition of a single user's non-Tor traffic to the firehose stream coming out of an exit node.

But that's just my guess. Perhaps somebody should ask @snowden.

You've got the proportions backwards. A typical Tor exit node only provides a few hundred kib/s of bandwidth, maybe a couple of mib/s for the more generous one. Your traffic, or even the neighbor mooching your WiFi, will be the firehose stream in comparison to that.
