These stats are meaningless without context. What were the numbers the prior year? Two years ago? Three years ago?

Why can no one provide the annual numbers from the past. This whole issue can easily be resolved one way or the other if we can just see the historical numbers. Where are those numbers?

I think that there is a problem. But it is a mystery why no one seems to have credible auditable data on this stuff.
