This is clearly not happening. If the SSDF list is indeed over-estimating the true rate of improvement of computer programs, what would we expect to see? Over time, the ratings of the top programs would drift higher and higher, until they got so ridiculously high that some sort of correction would need to be applied to reflect the true strength of the computer programs."
