Just looking at the charts, I'm surprised by how accurately the trends were identified by the public. What the authors call "misperceptions" are in many cases just systematic errors in the absolute numbers, which frankly I would expect. The vast majority of the trend slopes are quite close to actual. I feel like the authors are reaching a bit for a controversial conclusion.
