Zlejedi,
To use an extreme analogy to show the point....
Let's say I run a food bank, and 100 people need food. Each month month the number of people who can't feed themselves grows by 10.
So the next month, I would need to feel 110 people. But let's say in the same month, 12 people starved to death. So, it went from 100 people needed to be fed, to 98 (100 + 10 new - 12 who died).
If that happened, would you agree with an article that said "Good news! the number of people who need to be fed this month went down 2%!"?
I sure wouldn't
