Line 9:
Some themes of the book are "[[Correlation does not imply causation]]" and "Using [[Random Sampling]]". It also shows how statistical graphs can be used to distort reality:
# By truncating the bottom of a line or bar chart, one makes differences seem larger than they are
# By representing one-dimensional quantities on a pictogram by two- or three-dimensional objects to compare their sizes, one makes the reader forget that the images don't scale the same way the quantities do. Two rows of small images would give a better idea than one small and one big one.
