Be AWARE ... that was a hand picked image ... if you play with 
PolyFit you will see that sometimes data fits the extrapolations, 
sometimes it doesn't.

The higher the order, the flakier the extrapolations are likely to 
become ...

So ... Remember what it is ... a generator of an equation in the form 

Y = a + bx + cx^2 + ... + nx^(n-1)

Where the coeeficients were pick to fit the data.

IMHO what PolyFit is, epecially with very high orders is a very good 
detrender of IN SAMPLE data, nothing more, nothing less ... That in 
and of itself is a useful tool ... Gaussian Elimination can also be 
the basis for some other things that are pretty decent when the order 
is kept fairly low i.e. 3 or 4 ...
