I'm no expert, but I have heard that "mouse loiter time/location" is very much a data set in at least "some" suggestion models; if not just 'usage statistics.'
It kind of counters any warm and fuzzy feelings about the 'convenience' of the whole "viewing suggestions" ideal.
I don't like feeding paranoia... but then, paranoia often has real roots... that's what makes it persistent.
Regardless, simple awareness can always be very useful...
