You need future data to know if it’s an anomaly.

yes that's how math works. You can't say it's a trend until you can define the trend.... right now it's an anomaly - sorry the math upsets you

I’m not saying it’s a trend though. I’m saying the same reason you can’t know it’s a trend is the same reason you don’t know it’s an anomaly.

So what do you want to call it if the term anomaly bothers you so much?

Without more data, it IS an anomaly, and it COULD potentially become a trend but for now it is anomalous as we don't have more data... that's the word for it.

Sorry words bug you so much...kinda funny though, snowflakey thing to want to argue about.
