Ice, >an actual charting error in an O-ring performance chart (similar, in a way, to the flawed IOM chart we talked about), that led to the Challenger blow up.<

I didn't know that. Misinterpretation of any data - charted or not - can, of course, have severe consequences. We're all affected by mis-
interpreted economic data or company information daily, for example.

Yes, the ESV vs .INDU chart shows IOM prices correctly, but DJIA (.INDU) is scaled by dividing by a fixed number such that the starting points of both coincide.
