>>11489676You're denying basic human psychology if you think average people, or even the vast majority of people, aren't mislead by a graph with a truncated y axis. Slopes of lines cause an emotional response, it's stupid, but people are stupid.
The second one simply obfuscates that it's truncated. It would be a lot easier to understand with 1974 as 100% instead of 0%, which just so happens to be equivalent to not truncating the y axis.
