Graphs Don't Lie: How to Lie with Graphs and Get Away With It…
Lee Baker
Graphs might not lie, but if you plot biased data on a graph or elect to
represent truthful data on an inappropriate graph, you’ll be guilty of
misleading your audience. And that’s the whole point.
When plotting graphs and charts you have choices and some of the choices
are more appropriate than others. Do you want to tell the truth? Then
choose wisely. Would you like your company to make more money or your
preferred candidate to garner more votes? Perhaps you might prefer to
choose a little less wisely. If you’re comfortable with using graphs to
misrepresent the truth – and even prefer them as a vehicle for profit or
career enhancement – then this book will help you find lots of ways to tell
untruths with your graphs.
A word of caution though: this book was not written for you. It was written
to help the conscientious spot when you’re trying to pull the wool over
their eyes. After all, the crooks and conmen already know these tricks, and
it falls to honest men to learn them in self-defence.
