Some people are getting the maths wrong on this. I don't think they understood the Lyndell video properly but all they've done is choose the curve with the highest correlation. You'll get a high R by default so they're basically tricking themselves.
It only started to get interesting when exactly the same set of points works on multiple datasets. They're doing a more advanced version of the mathematical mistake that Shiva made as far as I can tell and it's a distraction away from the real evidence that they have.
They do eventually start to apply it to other countries which makes it more compelling.
