- seanmcdirmid 10y agoPredicting a 5th year of continued declines is actually not a very risky prediction. You plot the data, look at the graph, and say "duh." If the decline could be stopped, that would be much more newsworthy! In this case, they are merely reporting what happened, not saying what will.
