    I’m still waiting for the “gotcha”. What is it?

    Unless you are offering a claim that the trend described by the June article has now changed, we are still in the trend . Imagine an article from June saying “Pineapple sales have been growing”. It would still be true now that “Pineapple sales have been growing” unless you can demonstrate new evidence that pipeapple sales stopped growing or began to recede.

      Why does there have to be a gotcha?

      I’m stating very simply that an article discussing current trends which is not current is not useful. Because it’s not current. So of course it isn’t. What’s there to get?
