I really doubt one day would cut it, to be frank. Some days are more popular than others, and with holidays and things like that influencing the average users spare time and habits. In addition, external events concerning pokémon could also influence the activity, which requires correction. It's been a rather quiet period in those terms, but with the possible revealing of a new (main series) game in December, I think activity can increase. Also, a Christmas contest (like last year), can also influence activity in general.
If more users did count at various times (the times could of course then be calculated to different timezones) over time, it would create a broader image.
Just my thoughts on the issue though. While it's certainly an interesting theory, I think it also varies by day and time of year, in addition to external and internal events regarding pokémon and the site.
