In the last couple of days I saw two humans and one AI present convincing-looking graphs/charts for their arguments, only to later realize after a closer reading that the graphs/charts are a result of extrapolations/simulations rather than direct data, and the thing the graph was supposed to demonstrate was a direct consequence of modeling choices in the relevant simulations.
Please don’t do this!
