Petr introduced quantitative evidence and an analysis. You can argue
that his numbers or his analysis are incorrect, but berating statistics
as a whole is not a compelling argument.

Is it? I think the point of Petr's data is to show that, for whatever
reason, people are NOT intuitively doing as you expect.

Aren't they, by definition, gitweb users? And isn't that the target
demographic?  You can argue that there are potential gitweb users who
will behave completely differently, but I haven't seen any evidence to
support that claim.

It's not a proof. It's evidence in support of a claim. Sorry, but this
isn't math.
