Really good overview of the entire bug, however i cant help wondering about your reference point for comparecent of the actual effect of this bug on the EVE echonomy.
I know you properly had your cheef echonomical guy write up some of the blog - bud my fear is that this numbers show what you want them to show, which is that this bug did not have any real impact on the EVE echonomy.
 Now let me explain my self...
There are 2 kinds of trade going on in Jita, 1 the kind of trade that relates to normal item exchange between players buying and purchase of items and modules to create new modules and items, 2 the kind of trade that relates to acutal raw materials - now CCP does there best to ensure that not to much raw material is introduced into the game which is good.
However in your blog you compare the bug to all trade going on in Jita where as to show the bugs actual impact you should only compare it to the actual introduction of raw materials.
I know its extremely hard to see how this will work in parcis how you would go around measuring this un actuality, cause what we want to know is when a item is sold for the first time, and then we dont really care about the rest of the items life cycle...
What is interesting to know here is not how much the 6-12 trillin is compared to average trade in jita cause any and all items in Jita are traded more then once to make the comparesen transparrent it would be nice to know how much the 6-12 trillian is compared to the minerals that are bieng mined, the moon ore and reactions that are produced, the construction components that are bieng sold.
Im willing to bed that the 98 Ferrogel reactions this pos monkeys wore running corrosponded to much more to the total of the Univers supply of high end reactions.
I remember that Deklein have something like 10 prometium moons which corrosponds to 5 full Ferrogel reactinos lets try and use this as our point of reference.
Now EVE have about 28 NPC regions and 35 regions that are owned by verious alliances.
 Now lets say that every one of the 64 regions (yes i used EVE-Map and started counting) can produce 5 full ferrogel reactions each.
One full ferrogel reaction uses 2 Complex Reactors.
So with 64 Region's producing 5 reactions each (2 Complex reactors) we should have a total of 640 Complex reactors running the ferrogel reaction.
So compared to this numbers the people who wore using this bug to make money actually wore responsible for 15% of all the ferrogel produced in the EVE universe.
Now im sure that you CCP track how much isk is bieng introduced into the game threw missions (loot, LP and isk), from mining, from ratting, research agents (omg remove them already) and moon materials.
 So now the question is how much did this bug actually influence the EVE echonomy ...cause one thing is for sure it is not the 0.7% of one days trading in Jita...it is much much more....some where between 1-5% of the EVE echonomy durring the period where this bug was bieng utelized to the fullest....
So in conclusion, if you want to ease the EVE echonomy an echonomy thats out of control in respect to the high end reactions then the way to go is not to come up with a model where your findings "prove" that it didnt have any actual influence...
