      Plus why does cost of transport have inconsistent spacing between lines and inconsistent scale movement? The scale is neither linear nor log. It sometimes doubles, and then sometimes just adds 0.2, 2, or 20. And also still a scale that’s flipped from (at least my) expectation would be with more efficient towards the top and less efficient towards the bottom. Sometimes there’s a minor grid line, sometimes there isn’t. And sometimes the minor grid line isn’t even at the half mark

      At least the body weight keeps to a consistent log scale

      Is there a data is ugly community?

        The uneven spacing is common in log scales when you want to show lines between powers of 10. You can’t divide a log scale evenly.

        It might make more sense if it was shown with thicker lines for each power of 10, and then thinner lines in between:

        0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 1

        2 4 6 8 10

        20 40 60 80 100
