These graphs are so fucking bad. Like not only are they very difficult to compare with one another, some have innane choices.
Why is the gap between 12% and 24% the same as the gap between 6-8% ON THE SAME GRAPH?

![Quotation which reads: " The ward staff reported that [Redacted] spent considerable time in the bathroom, where she would exhibit considerable delayed echolalia. Therefore, we also recorded her verbal behavior in that setting by attaching a microphone to her shirt with a lightweight (3-pound) cassette recorder in a small backpack designed especially for her. The recordings were started as soon as she entered the room and were terminated some 30 min later when she was taken out."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:f2swsifxsbvdb4b4jog6xz24/bafkreifgm3lmnecqrzn22oqvbdqshxyc2pa3xhxsvsapsymv3oxshnzcy4)
![Extract which reads: " Of the five psychotic children worked with in Experiment 1, one was discharged and was therefore no longer available and two had become clinically unmanageable because of their aggression. The two remaining children, [Redacted] and [Redacted], were worked with in Experiment 2. A third child, [Redacted] , was added.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:f2swsifxsbvdb4b4jog6xz24/bafkreic4apc7vhbwyd56rvcvgvlqdvldwscp3k7gli6aszs5d6vznna7nm)
![Quotation which reads: " The teacher was trained to administer the response-cost reinforcement contingency for [Redacted]. After a baseline period of 18 school days, the response- cost contingency was applied to [Redacted]'s four brat behaviors. In the presence of the teacher, Dr. Rekers explained to [Redacted] that he would automatically receive 10 points at the beginning of each school day. He would lose one point each time he (a) created a class disturbance, (b) bossed another child, (c) behaved rudely to the teacher, or (d) teased another child. During the day, the teacher would say to [Redacted], "One point," to indicate to [Redacted] (without the knowledge of other classmates) that he had lost one point for the behavior he was currently performing. At the end of the school day, the teacher subtracted the points [Redacted] had lost and [Redacted] received 2 minutes of free time for each point remaining."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:f2swsifxsbvdb4b4jog6xz24/bafkreie7akrcyyarkrbj24gwvlis7wv3fuobkgedbe3e776e6r4nji4fne)
![Quotation which Reads: Since the age of 4 years, [Redacted] had pronounced feminine inflection and content of speech. He was extremely verbal, and his conversations were dominated by topics such as dresses, cosmetics, maternal roles, female impersonators, delivering babies, and female underclothing. He had several recurring exclamatory feminine remarks, such as "goodness gracious," and "Oh, dear me." His feminine gestures were exaggerations of an effeminate swishy gait and ann movements. He would typically sit with his legs crossed very effeminately and his arms folded like a female model. At home, he would frequently use towels after a bath to simulate female garments and long hair. In his peer relationships [Redacted] passively allowed boys to tease him without asserting himself in return. He preferred girls in play, assuming the female role himself with great frequency. He preferred girls' toys,particularly dolls, and he played house with his sister frequently. [Redacted] was ostracized by his male peers who labeled him "sissy" and "queer." He harbored a strong fear of "getting hurt" and feigned illnesses and injuries to avoid play with boys. Not only was [Redacted] labeled by his peers as effeminate, but he referred to himself as a "sissy" and "fag", and his speech regularly implied that he preferred to be considered a girl."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:f2swsifxsbvdb4b4jog6xz24/bafkreifp66zb74trplnl2osjl3vodwa6juw7tdjke2l7bxhty2pixfddxu)
![Quotation which reads: " There are at least four related reasons why one may want to treat a child like [Redacted]. First, [Redacted] feminine behavior was increasingly leading him to social isolation and ridicule. Boys like [Redacted] are typically scorned by their peers and live a miserable social life (cf. Stoller, 1970). While society probably could afford to become more tolerant with individuals with sex-role deviations, the facts remain that it is not tolerant, and, realistically speaking, it is potentially more difficult to modify society's behaviors than [Redacted]'s, in order to relieve [Redacted]'s suffering."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:f2swsifxsbvdb4b4jog6xz24/bafkreid6ic5bbuzpkf5wlylngxbdsjajcwlhx7gtococifacmcmqgqtkqa)
![Quotation which reads: "When [Redacted] began tantrum or other uncooperative behaviors (he typically did when his mother ignored him), the experimenter was particularly supportive of the mother. In fact, when the mother first withdrew her attention for [Redacted] feminine play, he put so much "pressure" on her (by alternating between crying and aggressing at her) to reinstate the attention, that we had to terminate the session and ask [Redacted] to leave for a minute. Before sending [Redacted] back to the playroom, we reassured the mother empathetically that she was doing the right thing and was doing it well, and that we would continue to be available in the observation room to assist her"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:f2swsifxsbvdb4b4jog6xz24/bafkreibglywounjwvraz6u2noagpljrf25ef2habplkutmavhdejxdylf4)
![Quotation which reads: " The modification procedure consisted of asking [Redacted] if he wanted a cookie each day during snack times. If he responded by saying "yes" he would receive a cookie, and if he made no response, he received nothing. During the first two and a half days of conditioning, [Redacted] faIled to respond and actively engaged in non attentive and interpersonally disruptive behaviors when asked if he wanted a cookie. On the third day, during afternoon snack time, [Redacted] persistent teacher took [Redacted] shoulders in order to try to get his attention and asked him if he wanted a cookie. Suddenly, [Redacted] ceased his struggling and focused his attention on the teacher.
"No" he replied, "and I’m getting tired of this shit"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:f2swsifxsbvdb4b4jog6xz24/bafkreiec7y4o56ryuy2g7xjbvi4bq3qziedkuvkgalml7zlgc4o467y43e)
