The post's author's having missed that it is a logarithmic scale doesn't say much for his chart reading. The choice of a logarithmic scale by the charts creator doesn't say much for his presentation skills. It's a distraction, and it conveys nothing meaningful about the data to almost anyone. His explanation - that he wanted a halving to look visually equal to a doubling is just weird, since hardly anyone would expect that in a chart about change in a single period. I'd call it "too clever by half."
