Yes, they specifically mention "adjustments" due to changes in the way the Census collects data. They don't explain what those adjustments were and why they were needed. It all feels very much like adjusting the axis on a graph to make a big slope look smaller or to take small slope and make it look like a hockey stick. Smells very much like manipulating data to get the results you want.
