STATISTICS LIE!

Why is there no measure in the spread of the data? Every college graduate knows that you can't just post the average, you have to give some measure of the variation. Why isn't that included? There may be NO REAL difference among all the countries listed.

And why include just 2003+ construction? This is totally skewing the data. Do you know how many homes were built after WWII in America? Just look at Levittown, home sizes about 800 - 1000 sq ft.

If I were cynical I'd say it was because the point is to slam Americans, or if I were slightly less cynical I'd say it was because the person making the graph didn't know what variation was.
