    The image isn’t idiotic; it just isn’t making the point he thinks it is. Look at the slope of the line, not the area under the curve.

      I meant the fact that it disproves his point, but fair enough. I’m getting worked up and should step away for a bit.

        A reasonable slip of the keyboard, in the heat of the moment.

        Anyway, for posterity here’s the chart being referenced, since the guy posting it got banned and his comment removed:

        I think it’s actually a pretty useful chart to keep around for the information it’s actually conveying (as opposed to how the banned commenter was trying to misrepresent it) Glad I copied it from his other comment when I had the chance, LOL.
