Oh, Christ, another GIGO-in-training.

Don’t just tell me to stop using '98 as a starting point unless you’re telling me what to swap in _ **instead.** _ I like using '98 as a starting point because it fits GIGO’s original falsification criterion, and until he supplies a replacement falsification criterion I’ve got nothing else to go on; I’ll stop using it as soon as he moves his goalpost to exclude starting from '98.

You say it’s not good enough to note it hasn’t gotten any warmer since '98? Tell me what _ **is** _ good enough by supplying a better falsification criterion.
