:Seems unlikely given the lack of units on the [[833|axes]]. --[[Special:Contributions/172.68.54.130|172.68.54.130]] 15:23, 27 February 2020 (UTC) | :Seems unlikely given the lack of units on the [[833|axes]]. --[[Special:Contributions/172.68.54.130|172.68.54.130]] 15:23, 27 February 2020 (UTC) | ||
::[[833]] is about labeling axes in general, not about putting units on them. If you just want to show a correlation, but not detailed values, such as here, it is totally valid to not put units. --[[User:Lupo|Lupo]] ([[User talk:Lupo|talk]]) 15:25, 27 February 2020 (UTC) | ::[[833]] is about labeling axes in general, not about putting units on them.

I can think of one job that puts someone into that bottom-right corner: total loss valuation specialists (particularly ones specializing in commercial vehicles). We don't get within a hundred miles of trucks, and yet we know substantially more about them than the people who submit the claims to us do (and sometimes more than the owners do). --[[User:Skyrender|Skyrender]] ([[User talk:Skyrender|talk]]) 02:31, 27 February 2020 (UTC) <-- A new car built by my company leaves somewhere traveling at 60 mph. The rear differential locks up. The car crashes and burns with everyone trapped inside. Now, should we initiate a recall? Take the number of vehicles in the field, A, multiply by the probable rate of failure, B, multiply by the average out-of-court settlement, C. A times B times C equals X. If X is less than the cost of a recall, we don't do one. | I can think of one job that puts someone into that bottom-right corner: total loss valuation specialists (particularly ones specializing in commercial vehicles).
