Didn't bet this weekend. I'm on the wagon.
I think the rationale is something like "we've already got 20 million people watching our shows on Wednesday night. If we move a show with loyal viewers, all those people will keep watching Wednesday night, because they're just used to watching OUR network Wedensday night, and they'll keep watching their favorite show on SUNDAY night.
I think this is stupid reasoning. I think a good reason for moving shows would be like if you've got a good sitcom that's not doing well on one night, and there's another night where nobody else has sitcoms, and your research tells you that a portion of the audience wants to watch a sitcom on that night . . . kind of like going with the Righty/Lefty matchup?
