PG, nastydollars and bangbros -shaving?

Can anyone explain why pefect gonzo, nastydollars and bangbro's don't use nats or something like it?

I know NATS is expensive, but if much smaller companies can afford to use it surely these much larger programs could?

Not saying they do shave, but i don't like to think it is possible. Therefore i prefer to go with programs that have transparent 3rd party billing ie ccbill or that use NATS since i'd read that this should prevent shaving.

A few years ago when i used to promote pay per click programs there was a 3rd party stats handler called clickthroughcalvin.com or something like that.

I always wonder why there is not such a 3rd party that could be used by pay per sign up or partnership programs today. I know clicks would be easier than joins but still it must be possible.

Is there any other reason other than cost for programs not to use nats?
I know pg,nasty and bb probably don't shave sales and i'm not suggesting they do....but what could stop this happening and how could know you were getting shaved even if it was done by accident, like a glitch or something?

These are just questions i've never really pushed any of the programs that i mention so i've had no reason to believe they do shave.
