So if you create a trend line and use that as your basis of understanding -
assuming all data that falls outside the trend line is "erroneous" or an
"outlier", you do not see how you would fail to miss trends.  This is
interesting.  But it is exactly what you did.  Let's start with a weather
analogy (you seem to like those!):

Say you are looking at a year's worth of temperature data.  You make a trend
line and think of that as the data - ignoring the actual data (like you did
with the usage data).  The conclusion would be that the increase in
temperature in the summer was insignificant or non-existent.  You would make
foolish claims such as how the temperature "will be at [X degrees].  Same as
it ever was].  You would miss the upward trend of summer and the downward
trend of winter.  This is, in fact, what you did: you missed the increase in
usage for the latter half of 2011... well, you *claimed to* once you
realized that this went against your attacks against me.  Or, at the very
least, you realized there was a downtrend after it (in 2012):

  cc:
    -----
    Linux has been on a significant downward trend since then.
    -----
    And if you look at January and then look at now, then there
    is a downward trend.
    -----

But then you realized this was an admission that I was right (and you know I
am).  So you went back to a claim you know is wrong:

  cc:
    -----
    It will be 1%.  Same as it ever was.
    -----

You made up all sorts of things. You pretended the increase in the latter
half of 2011 did not happen (this is akin to claiming the summer in a year
of data did not show hotter temperatures than the winter) and you pretended
that I was predicting that the upward trend for the latter half of 2011
would continue unchanged - something I never said.  You also pretended that
I claimed the trend lines I showed were, in my mine, proof of the
cause-and-effect I had used to (vaguely) predict the trend... but I never
made any such claim (though I have seen Carroll repeatedly claiming
otherwise - just out and out lying... but you will never call him on that).

    -----
    A greater R^2 does not necessarily imply greater credibility
    for trend.
    -----

Can you explain what that means to you in your own words?

Then explain how you missed the upward trend in the latter half of 2011:
<http://tmp.gallopinginsanity.com/LinuxTrend2011-2ndhalf.png>.  Clear as day
there... and even obvious in the initial data:
<http://tmp.gallopinginsanity.com/LinuxTrendMar2012Snit-vs-cc.png>.

You have to be pretty dense to *not* see that there is an upward trend and
then a downward trend in that data.  And, with that data, overall there is
an upward trend, but based on the last few data points clearly not fitting
with the overall trend (the data is not linear), it would be absurd to use
that trend line - or any *linear* trend line - as a predictive tool.  Using
a linear trend line is not going to work to be a good predictive tool for
non-linear data.  

This whole time you have been just playing games - showing off your
ignorance.  And you know it.  It is the reason you keep making excuses for
avoiding questions.  The three most recent:

1) For a normal distribution, how can you visually tell if the sigma lines
are drawn correctly?

2) For question 1, can this placement be based on the distance from the mean
to any other element on the curve - and if so, what element?

3) Given this data: <http://goo.gl/NhFuK>, does this show a steady rate, an
increase, or a decrease for the second half of 2011?

There are more, of course - they are linked in my .sig - but you will
*never* answer them.  Even you know, cc, that you are ignorant.  That is why
you keep snipping.
