That's something that sounds like it makes sense but is flat-out wrong. See this graph (from the TFA): https://read.dukeupress.edu/view-large/figure/2454457/dem893...

A bit depressing that these lazy, swaggy, wrong hot takes are so often upvoted.

That's the same graph shown in the OP, with the scale expanded to make it look bigger?
