Count Roland posted:It's not exactly favourable coverage they're getting. I'd find it very surprising if those protests had a measurable affect on these numbers. How much of Trump's hundreds of millions of dollars of free advertisement in 2016 was positive? It doesn't matter how it's spun, the people feeling this way are just hearing "you aren't alone in feeling this way, look at all these protestors" no matter what the talking heads are saying.

Yeah if anything the graphic just makes it more confusing which is the exact opposite of what a figure illustration is supposed to do.

The Cheshire Cat posted:Yeah if anything the graphic just makes it more confusing which is the exact opposite of what a figure illustration is supposed to do. In my technical field I work with reactive power. I've heard many analogies to explain the concept of reactive power. However, I've always found that I need to use my understanding of the concept to understand the analogy, which is the opposite of what an analogy I'd supposed to do. These figures feels like that but worse. I can't even use my understanding of confirmation bias to explain what is going on in that second figure. Nevermind, everything clicks now.

What the diagram claims is happening: the diagram identifies relevant concepts and recieves, analyses and communicates information about them. What really happens: the diagram claims to be connected to concepts, but makes random shapes interpreted by the reader, who in fact is the one who makes all the connections between those shapes and a familiar concept (either relevant or about Pac-Man)

Interesting way to note "no data" for Washington DC

https://mobile.twitter.com/ScottGottliebMD/status/1260946980710350855/photo/3 That 7 day "average" in the 3rd image is either incorrectly calculated or deliberately massaged to make the dropoff seem steeper. The data points at April 14th and 22nd in particular aren't the average of 7 days in any direction, they are way too high. At best, the curve is flattened, and probably not as a peak but as a plateau. E: and why did they only calculate every 7th day when it would be mathematically trivial to do it every single day, which would give a more nuanced representation of the data? That graph's got an agenda. Shit Fuckasaurus has a new favorite as of 18:16 on May 14, 2020 |

It’s a peak in the same way that this is the highest point in Oklahoma.
