Have you ever hit exactly on the mark with your weekly estimate? It's either either higher than expected or lower--rarely right on the nose ("as expected"). During W, it was also "unexpected"...but the key difference is that now, the unexpecteds are usually in one direction--that they were optimistic.

If it is rarely right on the nose, then it isn't unexpected when "the nose isn't hit"...

The use of "unexpected" to which I object is that the authors claim the the worsening is unexpected. Bullshet. It's getting worse out there and it's easy to see. It would be unexpected for it to get better. And I think 0Fraudo is doing it on purpose. There is no other explanation.

Sorry for the vent in your general direction Gondring.
