Yep. Google explains that it's based on the number of searches vs. total number of Google searches. As long as Google traffic goes up overall, *any* term with steady query volume will go down over time.

I don't think anyone would argue that queries of the term "perl" are becoming more frequent faster than all Google traffic is growing.
