Yes i know, but if anything i've saw over the last 20 years - 'estimated projections' is just code for whatever we want it to say. I'd rather all the years broken down into their 6 month raw numbers instead then. EDIT - if there is a massive increase happening - no estimate will be able to accurately predict that increase - it's simply disingenuous as to real numbers - i'm completely over all these nonsense projections and numbers that are all obfuscated by adjusting for population, ethnic group, percentile over norm etc etc.
