There's no attacking - but if you are going to make the claim, back it up with some data or at least insights. Otherwise it's just noise.
The only "new Plat" population (as noted elsewhere) should be some subset of people who had under 50 nights separately in MR and SPG (but for SPG, had to be night focused vs. stay focused, could have been Plat with 25 stays/low night counts), who combined to over 50 nights (and who weren't already getting MR Gold via UA). That's likely a pretty tiny, not-well-thought-out-strategy population....basically someone who was SPG Gold/MR Silver every year..
