What is the writer basing this on? This statement is not attributed to anyone... Is there evidence to support this?

<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">One clue to which carriers offer point savers the best chance of cashing in can be found on the Web site operated by Randy Petersen, publisher of Inside Flyer magazine. The site -- http://www.webflyer.com -- includes a section in which readers can log their success rate by carrier for both upgrades and free flights.</font>
It have always wondered about the sample size on the upgrade/reward travel statistics, upon which this article is based. I remember in the past seeing several airlines with 100% upgrade success rates for a random sampling of months.
