Could you explain,

[–] ScOULaris@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I just mean I can relate to the comic.

In my line of work it's not uncommon for the people requesting data visualizations to ask the data engineers/analysts to simply remove data points that don't suit whatever narrative they're trying to construct with the visual. We have to push back against that whenever possible because, you know... that's bullshit.

Ooooh, gotcha. I tried to find a connection back to fashion modeling, because the first two panels sounded like it was about that

Haha, yeah. I think that's the intent of those first two panels.

But then the last two subvert expectations and reveal that it was about data modeling all along! 😲
