I'm not sure how you can claim the 95% number, but I agree that a lot of people consider their PS to be their money. As such, they'll cast a very dim view of having it stolen, even under a "monetizing" euphemism.

I think most guys have been paying attention to company statements regarding returns to the various stakeholders, not just shareholders, and have noticed our ability to pay down debt, pre-fund pensions, invest in the product, AND demonstrate great largesse to investors. Most guys have also noticed the trend in Valentine's Day checks, and they're going to know immediately if they're getting the shaft instead of a sincere and financially meaningful expression of love and affection.
