    Looks perfectly ok to me, the data is all in the 4 to 8 range and is scaled the same. All they've done is removed 1 to 3 as indicated by the two little lines in the y axis.

    The bottom (x) would be 3 then not 0 like stated. Nice try but obvious maipulation to make a steeper incline..;)

    But it isn't a steeper incline, it's irrelevant whether 1 to 3 are there or not. All they've done is cut them out of the graph, the scaling hasn't changed.

    agreed Phlik gradient is quite legit. all they have done is broken the axis (and made it clear too). That is a seriously steep gradient......
