A different take on the whole "no 0 on the Y-axis" thing. Add full graph of 500 million years of data.
The commenter's interpretation of that data is "hey look at the 500 million year history, this is no big deal", which is one interpretation. I realize that this guy might be dismissed, but it's useful for us to ask ourselves "how much history is ideal?". 500 million years is an extreme example so it's a useful point to discuss how much data we think is ideal. What about 4.54 billion years of data?
