If so it's still apples to apples.

At the same time, derivatives are known to be noise amplifiers. Second derivative even more so.

I fear the author wanted to talk about apples, the measurements didn't agree, so kept taking derivatives until the graph agreed with their bias. Why else talk about change in change of apples?

As always, misinformation has been spread, tweet succesfull ✅️

You might be correct but you are clearly in an area of expertise that is beyond mine, so I'm going to let the other folks arguing about it argue about it. 🙂
