I know full well you arent an idiot and the post wasnt directed at you.. But as you also know, there are plenty out there that if someone posts a graph on the internet, then they believe it must be true.

Doesnt matter whether a 2yr old child has drawn the graph, or a drunken heroin addict. Put a graph on an internet forum along with some well written rubbish and there is a wide audience who will believe it's true. Even more so if they are selling something shiny to back it up.
