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.

    It’s not valid. Peach is labeled 77% but occupies 20% of the pie.

    This chart with these labels is definitely invalid. The dataset it’s based on is coherent, but the labeled pie chart is invalid

      Yeah, could show adding the colored blocks together like (color1) + (color2) = 77% connected

      “🟦 ➕ 🟧 = 77%”
