In 15 years of data, the only start points you can pick in the graph
which were not higher 12 months later are within that short blip in
2001. What's more, the blip is clearly an outlier: only one of the
several BGP feeds plotted exhibits that behavior. Even for the blip,
they're higher 24 months later.
