Re: Can we substantiate this claim?

Now, it's a separate question whether everyone agrees that that's the right policy! It does seem reasonable to me that statements about the period from 1992 to 2009 can generally be assumed to be accurate, until and unless there's some internal inconsistency with other such statements elsewhere.
