I believe I was the person that suggested the Bush article as an
example when the BBC asked for one. I don't know where the articles
that were published before the BBC article got the example from. I'm
sorry if I was mistaken, but my understand is that this feature is
intended precisely for articles like the Bush one.

I couldn't disagree more. The objective of this trial is to see if the
feature is effective. This is a trial, not a marketing campaign. We
shouldn't be skewing the parameters of the trial to get the result we
want.
