I worded that very badly. Rather than throwing away data, I was trying
to suggest looking at it in more detail. As a whole from day 1 to day
n, the proportion not encrypted to the key was x. Fine as far as it
goes, but did the figures confirm or refute my expectation that the
proportion would be higher in the first few days and then decline to a
steady level?
