Sometimes you look at a graph and think that a particular value seems a bit odd. Then you look at the other numbers and they seem off, too. At that point, you realise that the graph is not intended to clarify, but to obscure.

Chiltern Off-grid Festival talk today with Donna M Cameron, after a late night round the fire with David Holmgren and Su Dennett , and we had such a hard time sticking to time! So much to discuss and such a good conversation. Thank you to all the wonderful people who took part in it. Really (sincerely) want to know what you think about '470'. #clifi
