Is it because of major dealers?

Anyone else notice that NGC is slow to update the census after any major dealer has had many submissions. I know that NGC had the results before end of day on Friday because the dealer was making many of the coins for sale on Ebay starting around mid-week last week. The census is a very valuable tool for all of us coin collectors to know just how many are graded. Seems to me NGC waits to keep the numbers low to please the major dealers. For examaple, If I was interested in a certain coin and the census shows there are only three, I would either see if I could buy one or search for that one to submit myself. So when the census is finally updated weeks later... that coin does not have a low census any longer...wasting my time and money.

Anyone else suspect this?
