Reply to comment by Odd_Science in [OC] Tableau predicts the estimated nuclear stockpile in Russia and NATO by eqqqxy

It’s stacked. This way it really emphasizes how many warheads there were in the world in total during the Cold War era

Yes, but that makes it pretty much impossible to compare Russia and NATO. Plus, it should be clearly labeled that this is stacked.

You could have three lines (Russia, NATO, and total) and the result would be much clearer and more useful.

I don’t think precise comparison is the point here anyway

We are on r/dataisbeautiful. The whole point of this sub is good data presentation. OP posted a super basic graph that is incompletely labeled and doesn't even allow us to compare the two things it shows, when it would be trivial to make it better. Why make excuses for this?
