This is a great example of Mathsworld. That's the mindset that goes: "I'm in a maths class/here are some numbers/I am *required* to do a sum/there is a single right answer/any other answer is *wrong*." It is literally (in the literal sense) not sensible to correlate and infer from four data points, and a disservice to Paaveen to do so.
