I'm not particularly arguing for or against the possibility either, I'm just saying that:
1) given the current situation and the "hints" given to us by SE
2) given the series of possible buffs that have been safely ruled out due to semi-extensive testing
3) given the amount of people reporting the same or very similar occurrencies

It all seems particularly "fitting" to say the least. The fact it does seem to fit like a perfect piece of the puzzle doesn't necessarily mean things are to be that way, and the "Self-fulfilling prophecy" mechanism might be misleading some of us.
Still... this all seems way too perfectly fitting for all of these things to be just coincidences.
