I was having trouble tracking down the girl sway results from 2011-2014, but the total girl success rate from 2015 until now is 70%. That is very hard to critique -- those are phenomenal results. So it's hard to argue against swaying not doing SOMETHING, even though that 56% isn't as comforting as 70%. I might have some crackpot theories to the difference (ex: some studies say boy births drop from war, etc., and most of the world is dealing with some level of political stress right now -- maybe external factors are explaining the drop the last two years?).
Either way, noticing two sways is what's standing out to you. There are still more successes than opposites so far this year.
