Yes but you are talking about conversions. That is different to member retention. The situation here is that the WM sent them clicks, and the clicks converted. But after a month or so the surfer decided "This site is not worth my money" and went elsewhere. This has nothing to do with how good/bad the webmaster who sent the click is, but how good/bad the website that the surfer signed up on is.

I do not consider myself a genius, but I keep surfers on average over 6 months. At that rate PPS is a lot better for me (I would pay less to the person who sent me the surfer) than revshare. In niches that I do not have sites, I send surfers to other sponsors, and I expect that site to be at least nearly as good as mine. If someone signs up with my sponsor I want them to stay (on average) at least five months, which I believe is the industry average (may not still be, it is a long time since I saw the stats). If they stay at least 4 months I am happy, but if the average is less than 3 months, it is bye bye sponsor. This has nothing to do with the quality of traffic that I send, or the conversion rate, simply on how good the site is.
