6. I would guess that it is not actual manipulation

I read the Miami Herald article and my take on it is that the figures are not wrong because of sinister manipulation. It seems that the economy is doing some things that have never been seen before and the old standard measure is no longer accurate.

But of course, it could be manipulation, if they thought they could get away with it. And they seem to think they can get away with anything.

Nah...I'll go with my first answer.
