How do you know this is some kind of truth of the universe and not just the fact that most people singletap because of reasons?
Quite a few alters switch to single-tap when they hit that wall. That's what is skewing the statistics. I can assure you that the statistic is not 95% because of "follow the leader."
I haven't heard of anyone going back to full-alt after changing to single-tap and learning to play it properly. They still alternate when necessary, but primarily single-tap forever after the change because they get the results they want.
I haven't heard of any single-tappers changing to primary full-alt because it seemed better, but the other way around has happened a lot and many alternating players come to these forums and also pm asking for help with complicated maps, whereas single-tappers just post "pls help stream speed AR10 pls". That sounds like enough evidence for me... For whatever reason... You are free to deduce your own.
Top alternating players are seen as exceptional. We seem to set them apart. There's a reason for that and I don't know why, but it exists. It's probably all in our heads, but I wouldn't underestimate what goes on in our heads, as opposed to just our fingers.
You're not going to get any objective evidence, because noone is at the skill cap for the human race. But for those who are still progressing, there is plenty of this "trend."
