- satellite2 6y agoThe log scale and the orgin at 0 definitely don't help the readability here...
- TeMPOraL 6y agoHighlighting the SpaceX data points would definitely help with readability. But origin at zero is a good thing; charts with Y axes offset from 0 are generally worse than worthless - they're actively misleading (and often purposefully so).
- marcosdumay 6y agoI don't get the automatic dismissal of graphs with offset axes. Yes, this one is better because it starts from 0, but there are plenty of reasons to offset a graph. For example, when you want to look at curves correlation (you may even want more than one offset at the same time), or study the change behavior.
