These are excellent points. Unfortunately, I’m a bit hampered by the fact that I stole the chart in question from the original study (pdf), and they used only “dynamite plots” in their paper. After reading your links on the topic, I can definitely see why this is bad. I’m appending a short note to this effect as an edit to my original article.
Thank you for bringing this stuff to my attention.
