Is there not a major flaw in the analysis that understates the value of the REITS?

Dividends are just accumulated with no return on them assumed. It would be better to assume a dividend reinvestment if the purpose is to compare the return of the individual REIT's to the benchmark S&P 500. Especially when covering 18 years of dividends. It may be difficult to do that calculation, but the simple way the author approached the issue is quite off, and gave the REIT's inadequate credit.
