What are your thoughts on "accidental clicks"? Say, I accidentally click a facebook ad while scrolling, then close the new browser window before your site's analytics scripts load. Would that account for a large difference?

I know that I thick-thumb at least 10 ads for every ad that I intentionally select.

Analytics scripts are at the very top of the HTML file usually, and are one of the first things loaded. In this case you'd be counted I think.

I doubt very much that your scenario matches the general public. My guess is your scenario is maybe 5% tops (based on no reproducible data!) :)
