Such techniques are often used to sell a conclusion with data that doesn't agree. Scaling, cropping, etc. Visuals are very powerful, and people will look at a graph and assume it's correct.

Agreed, it's total bullshit. This sort of stuff should be outlawed.

I was trying to figure out what was bothering me about it. Basically 1’0” - 5’0” is 1 tick mark part foot and then it’s 1 tick mark per inch. So basically you have a 12:1 ratio for the first 60 inches so it’s not a linear, logarithmic, exponential or any normal type of scale.

Or simply, according to the scale from top of the head to calves is only one foot. Their head is only an inch tall.

one glance and you'd assume that the average Indonesian man only comes up to the calf of the average man from The Netherlands

Their feet starts at the 4 foot 8 inches mark.
