    I know it’s a joke, but where did you get that number? If it’s at 3% in January and 4% in February. Either it’s a flat 1% increase/month or an increase of 33%. How else can it be interpreted?

      From the dephs of my ass. But basically it’s been around 2% for decades, then it went from 3 to 4% in a matter of months, so it’s accelerating exponentially very quickly!

      You can do funny things with statistics if you just use the wrong fitness function.

      Exponential increase that has been slow for decades, but is just now starting to ramp up?
