True dat.

I bet the marketing team were high-fiving themselves at the creativity of calling it 'BF1': restarting the timeline, matching the new console name, new generation, etc.

And at no point did anyone pipe up and say 'Umm. You know we already have a BF2 and the war after WWI was called WWII? What are we going to call the next edition of this game if it successful?'

I'd assume it would be included in the title if it was, but the data says otherwise.

WARNING! INTRUDERS DETECTED

So the bars are a probability distribution of the total points at the end of the season, and the cumulative percentage is the odds of being in the top 4 when Arsenal has the amount of points indicated for that bar?

I wonder how difficult that would be to decipher if you don't know about the premier league.

The histogram is clear enough by itself, but the percentages are definitely confusing as they look like cumulative probabilities but don't actually correspond to the y labels (70pt looks like should be >10% but is labeled 5%)

It's because they don't correspond to the Y values at all it's the probability at most 3 other teams finish with a higher points total.
While the Y axis is the probability that Arsenal obtain that many points.

It's actually a perfectly fine chart, you just need to be the kind of person who looks at that sort of chart; which is who the chart is for (the kind of person who would read that chart).

It was to avoid too much poo poo breaking. There's a startling amount of code out there that specifically does not work on any OS that identifies itself as "Windows 9[*]".

Late, but this actually became a huge issue 10 years ago when Opera 10 was released. At the time, Firefox was still around version 3 and IE was still 6, and a lot of websites (especially banks) would check the version and go "Hey, no, this is Opera 1, you need to go upgrade because we support only 7 or later". Pretty sure an update was pushed out to make it report Opera 9.9 or whatever.

Then Chrome came out and that problem (and Opera) very quickly disappeared :v:

There's probably some context that makes this make sense but on its face this graph just seems totally useless.
