Maybe. There's no real way to prove that the ranking drop is
a result of the install numbers not updating, since we don't
know the actual ranking algorithm. Even if it is, maybe it
affects only some apps, and not others (based on region,
publication date, or whatever). Maybe their datastores are
not replicating right in some places... Who knows. Maybe
the Android Market has gone sentient, and is just messing
around with people for the fun of it, or should I says lulz :)
