"Zoom in" is a funny way to say "intentionally mislead most viewers about how extreme the differences are." Because that's what it is used for much of the time, and the graphic demonstrates that quite clearly. (Heck, your own linked article says "you’re making an editorial decision to focus on the data in a different way, so take care not to mislead the reader." at the very beginning.)
At 5'2'' vs 6', that means the average Indonesian guy is about 86% of the average Dutch guy's height. Noticeably shorter, yes, but even if it was done with bars it would still make it look like the Dutch are twice as tall or something than the Indonesians. And the ridiculously absurd silhouettes just make it even worse.
Lmfao imagine downvoting someone obviously making a joke in addition to providing specialist insight. Lmoa even.
Is the graph to scale or not to scale? Do you acknowledge that graphs can start at numbers other than zero? Here’s a sock for you to cry into
It’s not to scale at all
The scale is there on the side of the screen tf are you idiots talking about “not to scale”
There is a “scale” and it’s HIGHLY inaccurate. It measures the tip of the head to the base of the shoulders on the tallest man at 3 inches.
It also measures the tip of the head to the waist of the second shortest man at 3 inches.
It shows that men of Indonesia will, on average, be up to the knee of the average man from the Netherlands.
So, no, it’s not to scale.
I think everyone here understands that you're right and why you're right, but I think OP is just having some height-based fun.
