> We understood that such scales were a valid and useful way of presenting data; particularly when there was a need to show very large changes or rates of change over long time periods. However we considered that at least some specialist knowledge of that type of scale would be needed to interpret the graph and that, in the absence of clear explanatory information, the graph was unlikely to be familiar or readily understandable to the national newspaper audience to whom the ad was directed.
