Impressive or not I just wish people would stop using monthly averages in the headline like this. You can't really make the case that this in-depth stack dive is for a layman audience, so you have to know what a meaningless metric it is.

I totally agree, but this was one of the requirements of the editor to have a "good marketable" headline. And we have to admit that this worked quite well.

On the other hand I feel that the article is very light and is indeed more for layman audience :) In depth one would be 10-15 times longer (and 100 times harder to write).
