Is this "Empirical" or is there an obvious reason

n indistinguishable balls into n boxes
T(n,k) = ways to get exactly k balls in the most-filled box
table starts

take the series a(n) = T(n,n-k) of the kth term from the right end of each line.

Empirical: The (k+1)th difference of T(n,n-k) equals k+1 for n > 2k.

(I'd guess the possibility of two equally filled max boxes ruins the counting)
