I appreciate the graphics that they post, but this one was… Bad.

This is great news! And please also extend my deepest sympathies to whichever analyst was asked to cram this histogram into a pie chart.

They are taking the criticism in good faith though

Well, we’re taking a pie in the face on this one @[…]

We try to make info like this as clear as we can, @[…], but we don’t always get it right. Thanks for your feedback. We’re, uh, cutting ourselves a slice of humble pie.

    Lol this is hilariously bad though, I can’t even figure out what the pie areas represent. Like, 2017 is about 55-60% of the pie. What fact in that set of data represents about 55-60% of something? It’s like they just dragged the pie slices around until they liked how it looked. You can’t even make graphing software give you that output.
