Graphics are so often intentionally manipulated to convey the authors intent. I don’t like graphs that show large differences until I realize that the origin of the graph is at say (0,1000) instead of (0,0); this can make a change from 1001 to 1010 seem huge. (One little edit to your comment, I think you meant quadratically instead of exponentially.)
