I think they're counting income as reported in tax returns which would be dividends/cap-gains on taxable accounts & withrawals on tax-deferrred accounts.

As you draw down your taxable portfolio - ie. withraw principle - , there will be less cap-gains / dividends on the remaining amount.

Could that be the reason?
