@AmeliaMN He didn’t actually draw 1m points, but illustrated that number with lots of them.
Never seen this visualization by Galton before. Did he really draw 1m points?! Move over John Tukey. #openvisconfpic.twitter.com/VN4B6dE6z4

@eagereyes makes sense! Where have you seen this chart? -
@AmeliaMN just eyeballing it, there’s no way you’d need a million dots to fill that space. Also, just not feasible by hand, IMHO. -
@eagereyes i figured that was probably the case

@AmeliaMN I think Howard Wainer has an article about the way Galton overestimated the size of the tails (people 8ft tall and taller). -
@eagereyes yeah, she was mentioning that.
