In kevindooley's blog, he looked past the snippet that was quoted, looking for where that "faked" data was being used. He found it:
;filter_cru,5.,/nan,tsin=yyy+yearlyadj,tslow=tslow
;oplot,timey,tslow,thick=5,color=20
;
filter_cru,5.,/nan,tsin=yyy,tslow=tslow
oplot,timey,tslow,thick=5,color=21
See the diff? In the test code, yearlyadj was being added to the yyy data; in the production code, it's omitted.
