I don’t see how you could get misled when the peaks are annotated and immediately and clearly visible.

  The graph is zoomed in. The Y axis doesn't start at zero, so it appears to be a larger difference at first glance than it actually is.

  I see how someone can avoid being misled, but I don’t see how can someone not see someone being misled.
