Right you are, good catch. Here it is broken down by year then.

2010 1
2011 2
2012 9
2013 78
2014 14
2015 305
2016 363
2017 7
2018 65
2019 28
2020 7
2021 106

2024 82
Consider a sequence with an extreme drop-off: 100, 100, 100, 100, 40. Taking averages of all the numbers, then all but the first, all but the first 2, and so on, yields: 88, 85, 80, 70, 40. That might look like it includes a gradual decline, but clearly there's nothing gradual in the underlying data.
