You also have to consider the scam corollary of the Hawthorne Effect in science, where just the act of observing a process prevents the expected outcome from taking place.

Now that all the scam-followers are watching, there's added incentive to cool whatever shadiness was afoot and regain some credibility for the pumpers. That makes these things more impossible to predict.
