: A 43% increase is not "almost doubling."

True.  But then, his claim was

    doubling from 1967 to 2005

and the numbers you get the 43% from are

    the 1980 figure is 17,473, the 2006 figure is 25,036

Clearly, that second statement of his wasn't intended to be a more
accurate quantification of the first.  So the fact that it fails to
illustrate a doubling isn't really all that noteworthy.
