Ok, I don't know what to make of this. Quotes from this article have been showing up in several places. (I searched but hadn't found it posted here before) There's a problem with this analysis. He quotes the source code this:(screenshot from the article)

Cube Antics1

But the actual file looks like this:(screen shot from the file)

Cube Antics 3

The analysis deals with a grossly edited file (or perhaps my original download was somehow corrupted) - in either case :

The article takes lines 32 through 39 and analyzes them as consecutive lines 1 through 8. It also ignores that there are at least 3 other versions of this single program - and that in this program the "fudge factor" doesn't plot when the program runs. In any case there are at least 2 versions of this same file circulating now, and this "smoking gun" may now be pointing in the other direction.

While the code in its entirety has not yet been explored, the author only claims that the array 'valadj' bears a striking resemblence to the hockey stick. He then notes that the data is interpolated with the 'valadj' array.

I've filed this one away as "curious". Not as proof of anything.

I think it's extrordinary that you think that this reverses things (????). It proves nothing.
