Come back to your original fatherland, the Netherlands, where De Graaff isn't that rare of a name (it means "The Count", as in the nobility title).

It took me a bit of time to understand just how terrible the scaling was on this. I mean, you'd expect a crypto-graph from a crypto-currency.

OK so dual Y axis is the obvious fuckup here. The bitcoin scale is 6 times larger and is thus 6 times more unstable. But why in the hell is the Yen axis flipped upside down? When the graph shows a decline of the Yen, it's actually doing better, the exact opposite of Bitcoin's trend.

Fantastic, an axis that's yen per USD vs an axis that's USD per bitcoin. That means bitcoins are somewhere between 8x to 10x more unstable than formal currency, but at least the trends match I guess?

Since I was curious, here's an extremely low resolution version of the chart (that easily omits the worst of BTC's offenses). I just grabbed each data point at the start of each quarter, and for JPY I converted it to 1/$value Stability!

This just goes to show once again that a graph quickly glanced at isn't worth poo poo and how you can make data show whatever you want as long as you're willing to use the most stupid representations just because they fit your narrative. I think presenting that kinda garbage as a journalist should be finable

The graph isn't wrong so they can only blame the editor for that. Notice how he is an editor, not a finance type career. He just edits finance reports horribly. Also he does describe himself as a maniac

I'm honestly of the opinion that, if you want to see if someone has some underlying mental disorder, then rather than sending them straight to a psychiatrist, you first ask them to make a simple graph. If it ends up looking like that, then they get sent for treatment. Of course, the content is a bit of a clue, too.

That's actually the bar on the farthest right, it's just drawn with an upside-down secondary axis that they forgot to label

Stolen from the NHL offseason thread: https://twitter.com/TheAHL/status/722122589334859777/photo/1 I know it does say 'leaders' at the top but it's jarring to get to the bottom of the graph and see 'league average.'

The middle 10 probably have average attendance, and the bottom 10 are going to weigh the average down a lot. Even with #7-10 you can see the dropoff gets rather severe. The only funny thing about this graph is the incredibly stupid names for those teams. Go Moose!

Most of the other teams are also in much smaller arenas. My local teams sellout capacity is lower than the tenth ranked team on there.
