Exactly. This data is somewhere between uninformative to downright deceptive if we're trying to get a handle on how many domains were actually moved to different registrars. As a proxy, dns servers seems somewhat poor to me.

Agreed, this sort of thing harms any sort of boycott by making things look ineffective or perhaps less effective.

I know that for the 40 or so domains I transferred off of Godaddy none of them used Godaddy's nameservers. Indeed it's ill advised to use your registrars nameservers.

I would encourage you to take this analysis down less it get picked up by conventional media.
