There is no requirement in the Graphing Bylaws that states graphs must come from real data. They are just another way of graphically displaying what he believes to be true. Feel free to argue with his beliefs.
Blogs are about conveying opinions. I don't see the problem with using a graph to convey an opinion graphically.
- jonknee 18y agoWhen someone claims they have the graphs to prove something, it is implied that they are backed up by something other than conjecture.
- jacques_chester 18y agoWhich is why there's a disclaimer right at the very top that they're illustrative. If you've got data going to any of my arguments I'd love to see it.
- lbrandy 18y agoI'm sorry but that's nonsense. People draw graphs all the times to prove things w/o using data. Especially when trends are what is important to convey in a graphical sense. It's not any different then supply/demand curves for different types of goods in economics. The graphs represent a concise way of stating assumptions upon which the argument is based.
- wmf 18y agoI interpreted the "I have the graphs to prove it" as humor. Obviously the graphs prove nothing, but I found they helped explain the arguments.
