I don't think you understand how the data is being calculated. Give me a second

So imagine you're drawing a graph

On the Y axis, you have growth in %

On the X axis, you have time.

Assuming you start Jan 1st 2023 with 0%

And the only other point of data is it's at 4.2% on October 1st

And you want to predict where that line goes to on December 31st. You would use a ruler to make an estimate to where the line would go, right? Like there's no reason to assume it would rise from 0% to 4.2% in 9 months then stagnate for 3 months, right?

Do you define that as inflating the numbers? This Statistic graph has more in depth methodology that also estimated over 5% growth

It just kinda seems like you came into the thread with an axe to grind
