Actually, I will try and add one more thing to present more constructive criticism:

If you included an example of data being misrepresented by both options, I think you would solve the issue of misleading people into thinking certain plotting practices are intrinsically misleading. So, for instance, if you showed that data can be distorted by truncating a bar graph, but also that data can be distorted by NOT truncating a bar graph, I think you would make a far more valid argument about how to analyze graphical data skeptically.
