There is some fuzziness already around when a suggested tile is shown. We only show one suggestion at a time, so if a given tile isn't shown, it could be because another tile is being shown. We also frequency cap suggestions, i.e., stop showing them after some number of views. We could add to that uncertainty by having Firefox decide to show a suggestion 50% of the time that it could have shown something. Each of these makes it so that when a tile isn't shown, it's not guaranteed it's because the user has some illegal site visible.
