Well, there we have it. Since the MoS says number/bullet nested lists are a correct style and does not do so for "Origin of tracks" sections, this edit is not switching between valid styles, it is removing an incorrect style and incorporating it into the correct one that is already present in the article. Thus, this edit is not subject to any sort of consensus requirement as required by MOS:VAR.

Eels attempted to run a one-second edit[6] of their seven-second ad[7] during the television broadcast of the 2008 Super Bowl to promote Useless Trinkets, but were denied by the National Football League.[8]

Lead singer E reported: "In the end we were told that the NFL would have to find 29 other advertisers to buy 1 second spots to fill a standard 30 second advertising slot and that they do not sell advertising time by the second. They also noted that a rapid fire 30 second segment of thirty 1 second commercials could cause people with certain medical conditions to have seizures and that it was against network regulations."[9]
