Then she said, "So it looks like we'll start plateauing." Could you qualify how that statement is to be read? Is that an observation about what the results are going to look like as a result of limited testing, or is it a statement about the intention beind behind decreased testing (to make the number appear to be plateauing artificially). Aside: 'Plateauing' is a funny word to type with all those vowels together.
