Sorry, but that is *NOT* "evidence". It *might* indicate that, but it
might happen for other reasons, as discussed earlier in the thread (such
as strategy/influence voting, or even just procrastination by the RC).
You cannot know for certain that a last minute vote was due to surveying
the region, and therefore it is NOT evidence/proof of that.

I would tend to agree with that, but again... not proof of anything.
As I recall, the surveying of the region by the RC is only a suggestion
and not a requirement. I do think it should be done.
... All the easy problems have been solved.
