When you consider there are decades of under supply to make up for, this is still a paltry figure.

Still doesn't excuse quoting a wrong figure. I for one appreciate the correction.

Oh - fair. I can't remember where I got that figure from. It might've been a quarterly average.

I'll amend, but noting the change.
