I'm willing to concede the homepage based on your example if you're willing to agree that it's ridiculous when applied to every page of a newspapers website beyond the homepage.

Breaking news websites need to refresh their homepages so that new stories can be exposed. Under your own example the user who keeps "the StarTribune open in one of their browser’s tabs overnight so they can check the weather first thing in the morning" will be getting last nights news if the homepage isn't refreshed. I'm not saying that news media publishers don't milk this, but your assertion that there is "This provides no added value to visitors (in fact, it makes the sites less usable in many cases)" is wrong.

Agreed on Nielsen data. Relative data is probably the most valuable perspective gleaned from it. @No Longer There, I outlined additional scenarios near the end of the post.
