This graph makes perfect sense to me as a plot of the relative frequency of occurrence of two phrases. My only criticism is that it stops at the year 2000.

Here’s a link to a plot that runs to 2008.

Dr (bloke) Mann, makes some reasonable suggestions
to HGW. I believe some of his proposal(s) make sense
and should be considered.

Agree, this is not an informative plot.

The illustration is as useful as a picture of a cat unless very much more information is provided. At least 7 items of information that I can count are needed.
There’s enough really crap charts and videos and claims out there alleging support for things, presented in a really bad way.

Communication can be hard sometimes. I know that very well. But this isn’t even trying.
Abject failure comes to mind. Print this out and drop it in front of a rational literate numerate adult and ask them explain with half a page what the image shows. 100 out of 100 are just gonna say wtf!
What’s going on Greg?
