Actually Gar has not got this close to correct. Gar is about right about the existing readers but if the new subscribers are younger than the pre-existing average, the readership will age more slowly than Gar's algorithm (to use the language of those younger than I.) On the other hand, if not many young new subscribers join, then the rate of aging will outpace Gar's result.
