Yes, there is a notable decline at the start, so I went past that to see what trend they are projecting going forward. If you like you can run a line through the zero year data point too. It won't change things much. But the point remains, trying to see ANY significance in the slope of the terminal two data points in a 10 year projection is IDIOCY! And trying to claim that should be weighted even on a par with the 10-year trend is IDIOCY. Looking at ANY two point, i.e. one year slope in that span is IDIOCY. But thanks for providing me with this excellent example of how you argue. I've printed it out and pinned it to my wall. Its a keeper...
