<<Why not adjust those series per capita? >>

Because we were speaking of absolute total consumption not a per capita figure. Your exact first claim on the future consumption was also an absolute rather than a population based useage:
"We are headed for a metal-less society. That includes steel too."

btw the consumption numbers for 99 I quoted from the US government were the most conservative are are less than those from the WGC!

As you question the quality of the listed metals consumption, why don't you tell us your concept of the true amount of gold consumed and your source.
