yep exactly...keep the timeframe long enough and you mess with peoples perceptions of whats normal. 20% sounds WOW but over 3 years its really just saying 'things will go back to normal'. likewise if they predicted 'house prices will rise 100% in 10 years!!!' when you do the maths, its not that unexpected.
it makes the journalist more money than just 'yeah we think theyll rise at around 7% for the next 3 years, yeah so nothing unusual'
