I figure it's more like hunt spawning, where fulfilling the condition doesn't always spawn the monster immediately, there may be some built in randomness that keeps them from spawning or there could be other things such as weather that contribute to it. I'm just saying that one must be mindful of claiming a causal link due to "A happening when I do B". I actually believe the source of "this spawns that" in Eureka comes from datamining more than direct evidence, otherwise there would be no way that a tracker with spawn monsters would have been available the second day the content was live.

Yes, exploring theories is fine, but the initial post was stated as "you must kill this additional monster for this NM to spawn because I had this anecdotal experience where it happened that way." It's fine to post the hypothesis as such, but you can't claim it as truth until it has been rigorously verified.
