    They do show them. But the point is the crazy difference is noticed because it’s so high, even without knowing the inflation rate.

    But as mentioned. The charts with inflation are there.

      They do show them.

      They hide them as secondary images. There is literally no reason to show unadjusted numbers for this.

        Now who’s being disingenuous…

        They don’t ‘hide’ them, they literally have a big banner across the chart telling users that ‘this chart is without inflation, scroll over for one with inflation’.

        At a guess (I don’t know) I would imagine that the reason for the charts without inflation is to show users the original prices that they saw when they were collecting their data. It’s the equivalent to saying something like “The prices were €100 back then, which, when adjusted for inflation is around €128 today”.

        I don’t know why you’re moaning here about it anyway, if it bothers you that much, why not contact the site admin or whoever compiled it and moan at them. Maybe you’ll find out the exact reason that they have done it like that too 🤷

          Sorry - what word would you use for “not visible” then? I didn’t say they weren’t available. They are… hidden.

          I don’t know why you’re moaning here about it anyway

          Because it calls into question the competence and motivation of the people who produced the charts.

            They are not hidden. They are the 2nd slide of 2 slides, and it is clearly written:

            This is WITHOUT Inflation. Scroll to see WITH Inflation

            If you can see the chart, you can see that text.

            Because it calls into question the competence and motivation of the people who produced the charts.

            But, again, if you want to call in their competence or motivation, why not contact them and moan to them instead of doing it here? It achieves nothing.
