If we can, this would make the K chart even more attractive. | |

But in any case, this is a moot point, because the dimension of the horizontal axis is the rank indeed. But even if you consider the rank as horizontal dimension, depicting a slope for it is misleading in my opinion. | |

However, Wilkinson's objection doesn't really apply anyway because the scale of the horizontal axis is the rank, which is quite well determined. | |
