Right, but this article is about the 11 year sunspot cycle, which is observed directly by viewing... sunspots. So not sure what your point is here.

I think the point is that we can't know what's going on deeper down, and changes happening there could be a reason to changes in the cycle. No idea if that's a reasonable suggestion, as I don't know about workings of sunspots and the cycle here.
