I didn't notice until you pointed it out. Because why wouldn't they be??
Because there's lies, damned lies, and statistics...
Presumably they are starting wherever the trend "started", although I'd like to see what it was doing before that to see if this is an unusual trend or not
Because gaps in data are a thing? I dunno, it doesn't really seem to change the story or the outcome. Your concerns seem overblown.
Then attention should be drawn to the fact that the timelines are different. The data is presented in a misleading way and we should hold ourselves to a higher standard.
Axes should remain the same with the lines missing at parts where there are missing data. This makes it clear
That's funny, because that's exactly what they did.
