I don't think that's the conclusion anyone is drawing. Most other articles use the phrase "announced on Monday". The journalist in the TED talk scraped status updates for "break up" or "broken up". This isn't supposed to be taken as hard evidence of anything.

From the article: Mondays, as if they weren't bad enough, are the most likely day to break up.

I was referring specifically to the shoddy article and its crap conclusions, not to the original data. The original data was interesting and potentially insightful.
