i've been doing this a long time, when i decided to put GA on some of my sites within days the traffic - only on the sites that i added GA to - dropped in traffic by a massive amount where as the non GA sites remained the same. that may not be a "statistically relevant pattern" to you, but only a fool would ignore it.
