Yes, though I just made up that 96% figure as being slightly less than 
100%, That allows for some non-Tor traffic such as installing OS updates 
and having bots try to log into your server during the course of the month.

Yes, there is.  Apparently the Chinese authorities have gotten so good 
at detecting Tor nodes that obsproxy3 is the only way to hide from their 
detect-and-block program.
