Alternatively, you could keep the double printing of the names and leave out the lines connecting them, they too are just for readability. Of course, you can't remove both the lines and the second printing of names.
- gwern 15y agoWell, if you remove the lines, you give up any information besides start-end rankings, in which case you might as well just have 2 columns of names next to each other. eg. look at Tufte's cancer survival rate graph, where it's not just a straight line from start-end but multiple segments, each end-point being a fresh dataset, datasets staggered over time.
