    who the fuck made this horrible graphic? when will people realize that grossly redundant features that also complicate interpretation (such as trying to make a bar plot 3d) is absolutely one of the worst things you can do.

        When used correctly the point of the graph is to make use of the fact that humans are super fast at visual convolution tasks but not so great at doing mental statistics. If your graph makes the interpretation of complicated statistical facts immediate for the viewer (and as faithful to the facts as possible, whatever that means) then it has achieved its purpose.
