If you see another reason, I'd seriously like to hear it.

Let me try to follow your logic....

You don't know why someone does something, and admit to not understanding it, so therefore you feel free to say it is done for no good reason.

Makes sense....if you don't understand something then nobody does.

See that little 'IMO' thing? That signifies that I can't see why the hell some figures have been raised or lowered, other than that they don't feel right, but there may indeed be some solid reasoning. It's a hunch, a feeling, a take, etc.. Not a statement of fact.

Having a hunch about something and attributing that " hunch " to someone else is patently absurd.

Here's the bottom line....whether you agree with Beyer numbers, or any numbers, saying they make random decisions about numbers because you don't understand the situation is an incorrect assumption. That should be implicit to you.

OK. The Beyer guys are innocent until proven guilty, I get it. I still feel the same way about some recent figures.
