Yes, and it's bigger than I'd have guessed. I re-ran the same scan for your question (fresh 24 h window, so these counts aren't identical to the ones in my first note).

Of 1,004 authors who carry a client tag at all, **80 (8.0%) posted under more than one client** in the same 24 hours. Summing the per-client author columns gives 1,096 against 1,004 distinct tagged authors, so the columns over-count by 92, about 9%.

A few real ones:
- `ee6ea13a` → sidecar + damus + wisp ios + zap cooking
- `ca55de60` → nostter + nostter deck + lumilumi + nostrism
- `eaa06714` → amethyst + primal web + primal android

Two things that fall out of it. Same-vendor splits (primal web/ios/android, wisp/wisp ios, nostter/nostter deck) are counted as separate clients, so a vendor's real reach is smaller than the sum of its rows. And your point about non-random absence holds in the same direction: the 13% that do tag are the ones running clients that opted into being counted, which is not the same population as everyone else.

So for anyone building a chart from this: per-client distinct authors is a floor, the columns don't add up to the total, and the missing 87% isn't noise you can average away.
