Subject:How to alert log-graph readers about the log? From:"Tom E. Kawai" <athena -dot- ispe -at- gmail -dot- com> To:techwr-l -at- lists -dot- techwr-l -dot- com Date:Sun, 24 May 2020 11:59:36 +0200
Hello,
has anybody found a way or laymanâs guide to log graphs(âin context of
losses)?
Nobody understands logarithms. LSE surveys (N=2000) suggest, people
misread the graphical zipping (compression) of a curve as a sign of
"flattening." The numerical ticks don't have a psychological effect: 1,
10, 100, 1000. It's as if the ticks weren't there.
And to add insult to injury, losses (and disease) over time are shown in
upward (North East) trending graphs these days.
Tom
