Powaqoatse posted:im thinking the bars themselves are 200% That's not the problem - they're showing Graduation rates at the different colleges, for example at Arlington 27.2% of students graduated, compared to Austin where 67% graduated, they aren't supposed to add up like that. The problem with the graph is that the numbers are all abysmal, but even then the way they've hosed with the graph makes Austin look barely better than Arlington when it's bar should be more than double. Not only is it nothing to boast about, they are actively making themselves look dumber through their figure manipulation.

Arlington is roughly slightly less than half Austin, and a bit less than twice El Paso and so on. The issue is more that the vertical height of the bar scales well past 100%, and yeah, if anything the size does the opposite of what bad graphs usually do, instead of exaggerating the difference and falsely making themselves look better than they are, they've squashed the difference and made themselves look worse, like you said.

I'm just going to assume they are all party schools and therefore aiming for a 200 proof graduation rate.

I think all it's saying is that UT Austin has the highest graduation rate of all branches of the UT system. They're not meant to be added together.

You're right, but that isn't the point. Each individual bar is sized to go up to about 200%, which would require each person that enrolls to graduate twice. The effect is to make the apparent difference between schools smaller, even though that's the opposite of what they are trying to convey.

Aleph Null posted:Can someone explain how this makes any sense in any context? The visualizations, not the obviously anti-LGBT message. I mean it's obviously about "balance" in relationships right? So one man and one woman is "balanced", two men has one man dominating, and two women has both women ... uh... being subservient at the same time to each other... I guess? It's just stupid sexism but it's not like the message is incomprehensible.

Yeah, but, this isn't a five-year-old's drawing where you can tell he was aiming for a lion, and that is worth praising, even if he ended up with a sunflower attached to a water balloon. This is a professional organisation's public-facing argument against marriage equality, and while you can tell what they were aiming for, this is the art they went with and it is 100% mock-worthy because they hosed up the idea of balance beams which is one of the simplest ideas in the world to get right.
