Conclusions, I: 5 reasons why visuals reveal the uniformitarian turn (and statistics do not)
1. Graphs use hazard rates, not percentages or simple counts.
2. Rates are drawn on a logarithmic scale to show proportional differences.
3. Confidence intervals shown for all data points.
4. Empirical data are displayed over a wide range of stable populations.
5. Graphs facilitate visualization of data and models, whereas statistics may conceal more than they reveal.
