While it is certainly a problem that many info-graphics misrepresent information to skew public opinion or attract viewers, picking one aspect of a rather dense packet of information and calling it wrong is hardly a public service.

There's a real information problem being represented here but non constructive commentary isn't going to make it better.

Perhaps a more adequate title for the article would have been: "Be cautious of Infographics."

But then again I guess that doesn't misrepresent the content of the article enough to garner the viewer-ship they were looking for.
