If the numbers were not there, one would have to wonder why bother? Moreover, when splitting fractional percentages, what is the estimated error? Remember this is a survey with many variables, not a precise measurement of hard data. My guess is the error range exceeds the average observed monthly change.

Personally, I cannot wait until the dentist enters and orders open wide, so we can finally see the teeth.
