You are flat out wrong.

Go back to my refrigerator example. Are there more record highs and lows as the months go by? The number of data points is increasing.

Do you want more example to show your error? Suppose you kept track of how much beer you drink each day of your life. The high record would probably be set sometime in your twenties. Why aren't you setting new high records every decade, bigger and bigger beer binges into your eighties and nineties? The number of data points is increasing.

Just because you continue gathering data points does not mean you will necessarily keep recording progressively higher highs or lower lows.

You'll notice that you are the only one who seems to believe this, on this thread.

I'm not adding anything up. I'm just stating that if there is an ever increasing number of data points, you will always have more record setting highs and lows. Therefore, they are insignificant except as a news story.
