The graphing library caused this?

I must be waking up still because on first reading I interpreted it as a sea-born bug, something infectious or parasitic.
Totally expected norovirus .
As long it's not a pandasvirus...
No, bad analysis caused it. Graphs are at best secondary tools to interpret findings. You don't use graphs to draw conclusions.
But we do use plots to help identify problems in datasets, like all the time. Statistics 101
That's exploratory analysis. You don't use exploratory analysis as-is to draw conclusions. It guides you through your research but you do support it with other tools (statistical, logical). Science 101.
