Yeah the author's explanation on that one was muddled. They measures SHOULD be extremely correlated, even before you account for the length/volume scaling (and moreso after). And they are. But that correlation is also trivial/uninteresting, the dimensionality thing is trivial/uninteresting, and the appearance of an interaction can be confusing. So I'd separate the lines but NOT change the scales (just move one up to separate the lines). Or just pick weight and leave the neck size off the chart. But it's all pretty small beer I think.

The author wasn't saying that demonstrating a correlation is always bad, they were pointing out that forcing one with disproportionate scales is. And they are right, there's no reason for the scales to be different proportions unless you want to try and force the visual correlation. In the strict sense of the word, the data isn't correlated because that implies a linear relationship, and as a previous poster pointed out, it is actually cubic. The new graphic doesn't really show that it is cubic, but it does remove the visual bias that would lead someone to believe it were linear.

I agree that they should have picked one (probably the weight) and go from there. It seems they wish to show that dogs in the UK are becoming more fit... but we can't really tell that from their data since it seems to be all dogs and doesn't look at it by something like breed. I think what they were trying to do with the original is show that neck size and weight went lockstep down, showing that they must be the same type of dogs thus demonstrating they have become more fit.

I've seen that one before - I feel like the weird year thing might make sense if the data from the chart was originally from 1999 (so "1997" would just be the year before last rather than one random arbitrarily chosen year), but I'm pretty sure it's a lot more recent than that so who knows.

I feel like maybe the data was in fact that old and was picked up by some CNN researcher who was googling marijuana stats and then presented in completely the wrong context, since the numbers would make sense if it was meant to show a rising percentage in number of Americans who have tried pot over the last few years.

Looks like it's from here.

Comparing polls about marijuana done "today" (2016), 2015 and 1997, presumably because 1997 was the date of some old poll they found.

And then the data was presented in a pie chart by idiots.

Commenting on the substance of the actual map for a second, I'd be willing to bet it's just underdiagnosed, or missed entirely, in a lot of the poorer countries, rather than actually being at a lower frequency

The map doesn’t even list actual frequencies. For all we know, the colors could be a better scale than the labels and be indicating that there is no significant difference.

(For anyone who is actually colorblind, you’re not missing anything - that’s what the map looks like to everyone.)

That's be possible, but it doesn't require expensive or difficult experiments, so it's relatively easy to take statistically significant number of people and test them.

There really seems to be notable variations between populations (even though some groups in this data are too small).

Japan had blanket colourblindness testing in schools until 2003. So someone in 1977 asked a Japanese researcher "hey we need to get some numbers on colourblind rates" and the researcher just went "sure thing, what demographic do you need, let me look it up".
