    This graph gives the impression that the total installation number has been multipliés x4 or X5 while it is not the case when looking at the raw numbers.

    Any variation can look impressive if you zoom enough, that’s why you need a baseline at 0. This way you see thé entire scale of the phenomenon

      How so? It goes from ~7 to ~11. That’s not even x2.

        Yes but the graph goes from 2 rectangles above the bottom line to 8 rectangles above the bottom line in that final surge.
        So visually, it looks like it has quadrupled.
