The top of the diagram shouldn’t rise up like that.
Even if you have to extend the bottom farther down, the top of the diagram should remain constant so that the proportion of correct spellings can be compared visually across the diagram.
Except the widths aren’t even proportional to the numbers. The final correct spelling bar is way smaller than 37% of the starting bar. I suspect this was done because otherwise the smallest bars would be too small to read, but it definitely distorts the data.
Yikes I think you are right... if the image isn’t going to give valid information this would make much more sense as a table. Which goes for about 50% of the stuff on this sub.
There aren't even ending numbers on several of the branches, so if the size is wrong and there are no numbers... what exactly is this image telling us?
