The fact is small changes in rating are often caused by holidays, the ratings of other shows at that time, and the ratings of the show before. Some Juliette/Nick ( ex. Mindy) shippers posters have use my charts and said it support them when most people see a stable demo during the season 5 and 6.
I believe I understand what you mean. It is just like when one reads the world news, you do not read your news from just one source like BBC, but from many other news sources and then begin to add them up, analyse to really understand the real truth/facts hidden behind it all.
Same goes here for what I have explained. I did not write this all because it is from just one source. Its from multiple sources, and by the time you are done, you look at the average end game of it, giving you a clearer understanding.
For instance, your pole from face book is simply from one source, and it does not give you the exact read results on how the seasons ratings went, but I am sure you have looked at many other sources with an open mind, you will find out that which ever way you look at it, the facts come out clear. The only problem is, we have people in denial that hate to see the facts and rather give thier views.
