"the actual readings diverged from the prediction"

That's not entirely true. The decline they were hiding was in the proxy record (tree rings) during a period when the measured temperatures went up. This throws the entire proxy record into doubt.

It's the proxy record that they rely on to hide the Medieval Warm Period during which the planet was warmer than it is now. It's the absence of the MWP in their charts that produces the so-called hockey stick chart. Otherwise, the warming of the 20th century looks like part of the normal up and down of climate.

Here's an article explaining in more detail.
