There are no statistics in my or any posts in this thread.

because spreading awareness of the wealth gap is arguably the most important work our society has to do.

That’s why I’m using a log scale and trying to subvert emotional reactions. To help spread awareness and communicate about it.

Millionaires are paid a thousand times more. Billionaires are paid a million times more. Using the log scale makes this point a lot better. That’s why I’m using it, to expose the wealth gap. On a linear scale, it’s really hard to tell the difference between two numbers that are both obscenely larger than what you’re used to.

You are muddying the waters with your dismissal of the valid perspective of a log scale, and:

That leaves people with a passion for communicating this issue suspicious of your motives in an anonymous forum where billionaires can easily send people or bots to muddy the waters. We do not need your bad take here. It is actively damaging the cause.

Both the linear and log scales are important for communicating the wealth gap.
