It's possible. Like I said, I'm sure they A/B tested the shit out of this... I just don't know why this keeps happening. Your hypothesis is as good as any right now!

That's my assumption! I think A is a bizarre solution, but I absolutely think they've tested the crap out of this and that the way it works is the one that makes the most conversions for them. Still... crazy!
