If you don't believe that, you're just naive. If there is a third party program between your sale and the credit card processor, there is the possibility of shaving. It's just not spoken about, but it is the elephant in the room, isn't it?

It's an impotent elephant. Once you know how much each sponsor pays you per click there is zero relevance to focusing on the distraction of how they arrive that that amount.
If a sponsor claims 50/50 revshare, 30PPS, or any other payscale... it's a meaningless number. A sponsor who pays you 8 cents per click is bidding 8 cents per click for your traffic. The moment that number changes, his bid is now different. You are auctioning your traffic to the highest bidder... who cares why they bid more or bid less.
