While I tend to believe that ASMFC changed its methods to do as Sandman stated - make it "appear" that things are OK when they are really not, I lack a sound factual basis upon which to conclude this.
However, I agree 1000% with John (and Hab's) that from a fisherman's point of view and from the point of view of most of the guys I talk to on occasion things out there in the surf are not as consistent as they should be. This alone leads me to believe there is a problem.
