“This was a controversy (Eells 1926; Croxton 1927; Crox-ton and Stryker 1927; von Huhn 1927) about whether the divided bar chart or the pie chart was superior for por-traying the parts of a whole.”

“As well, experimental comparisons of the efficacy of various graphics forms were begun (Eells, 1926, von Huhn, 1927, Washburne, 1927), a set of standards and rules for graphic presentation was finally adopted by a joint committee (Joint Committee on Standards for Graphic Presentation, 1914), and a…”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
