I don't believe this is even a remotely possible result if interpreted absolutely, for if it was true, every single person born before 20th century would need to be suicidally depressed.
There's a reason I point to preference utilitarianism, not happiness utilitarianism.
Possibility of other factors affecting how happy people are wasn't excluded, as far as I can tell. Like social factors.
