The issue appears to Rob Wier. It seems that everyone else understands 
the statistics are somewhat imprecise and that there is a positive trend 
in downloads and thus interest. It strikes me as he has a personal issue 
with someone associated with LO and am I not interested in that.

Personally I would like to see all the major FOSS office suites succeed. 
It is better eventually for all of us in the long term.
