Not exactly right about extrapolation....think you mean interpolation. But we're splitting hairs a little.
The trouble with "smoothing", as you describe, is also self evident as you clearly recognise, so I won't go into it if that's ok?
Not entirely convinced of the need to compare TBH. What is needed is a highly accurate Track and Trace process so that people can make real time informed choices.
