What rankles me about waitbutwhy is that graph. It claims it's trying to show how exponential growth takes off faster than you expect based on the past (which is in fact a valid point). But it ruins it with that kink in the graph, which is completely untrue to exponential growth. It conveys the impression that "things are about to really take off just around the corner, but it's false to the actual argument being made.

In other words, he's lying with a graph in order to try to make his argument have more emotional impact. And I have a policy of taking lying as a serious disqualification of people who are trying to persuade me...
