“No attempt to deceive anybody.”
City A had 1 death last year and so far this year have 2, an increase of 100%.
City B had 400 deaths last year and so far this year have 200 more an increase of 50%.
How would you rate the violence factor in each of these cities? Is City A more dangerous than City B because the % increase in murders is greater?
The story and the charts while technically accurate do not paint an accurate or realistic picture of violence in these cities.
Again he had two charts side by side. One with percentage increase and one with raw numbers.
Unless you are blind or can’t read, there is no way you can claim he tried to deceive you.
The charts are SIDE by SIDE for crying out loud. It’s not like he went and hid the raw numbers in some secret corner.
Don’t expect logic and critical thinking here.
Your analysis is correct.
