Mike:

As an engineer, I've got to call 8% to 35% to 57% acceleration. The rate of
acceleration is declining, but it is still acceleration - not deceleration.
You've got your derivatives mixed up.

It's not deceleration unless it goes 8% - 35% - 57% - 35%. Remember they are
percentage increases, not actual EPS figures.
