A number of questions can be answered by the data presented but first one has to have a specific question to form the right hypothesis and how the data is used. If one is interested in favorites, they can be included. If not, they can be excluded. It all depends on what question you are trying to answer. There are specific ways of structuring a study and using the data depending on the hypothesis. the data must be used within a specific structure to answer a specific question.
I am not saying that this data would not support the hypothesis about the negative effects of breakthroughs.
Tell you what - give me a specific question and I will tell you what data I need and how to use it to answer the question.
