    And so is using the value at the same date last year. Both are really commonly used but display a really different picture.

    Cherry picking is not even about if it’s commonly used or not, it’s about using a specific data point to convey the message you want to.

      A random time at a one year point isn’t commonly used. You compare starts and finishes of quarters YOY, not a random Tuesday YOY
