I'd agree with this. Most AM's are already well aware of current traffic trends and things of that nature. Otherwise they probably have no business being in the game to begin with.
Also, it is fairly easy to hide your referrals and whatnot, there are plenty of great software solutions available that will do the job for you, for example:
http://tracking202.com/about - mainly used in mainstream but you get the idea.
Furthermore, are there ever any threads on gfy about positive affiliate manager experiences?
I'd like to think most managers out there develop solid relationships with their affiliates and the discussion of traffic sources never even comes up. It's more of a "hey this landing page isn't converting as well as it was last month, could you let me know the top 5 landing pages available right now instead?" Or "Hey I would really appreciate a custom 284x68 with this, this, and this incorporated, think you can take care of that for me?"
