If you start a graph at like 50 on the y axis it's easy to make data look more pronounced. The official graph showed they dropped to "zero", presumably a bigger difference than 50%. Like it would look like the line dropped to zero, but really the graph started higher than zero on the y axis to begin with.

Idk about the second one.

Thanks. I didn't think that he meant they were exaggerating the change, but you seem to be correct.
