Not ones you arbitrarily prefer. but cutting out half of the 0%-100% range means that the graphics are telling a different story than the labels are … Again, you deciding that the graph should be 0-100% is just… Pedantically dumb lol. It’s literally not misleading. You jumping to conclusions by really putting the ass in assumptions without reading is just bad comprehension skills.
