Un graphique aide à visualiser une grande quantité de données mais il peut aussi tromper. Or tromper n’est pas la même chose que mentir car le graphique peut induire le lecteur en erreur sans l’intervention consciente de son concepteur : on peut construire un graphique trompeur en accumulant des erreurs ou des approximations. Cependant, on peut suspecter certaines personnes de violer les devoirs de l’éthique déontologique. Plusieurs stratégies trompeuses peuvent être mises en place :

ne pas montrer toutes les données voire cacher les données pertinentes pour mettre en évidence les avantages que l’on veut montrer
afficher des données inexactes ou approximatives
affiche trop de données pour cacher la vérité ou l’adoucir
utiliser des formes graphiques de manière inappropriée

You may not know it, but the IPv4 address of your computer contains tons of useful information about whatever Wi-Fi network you're on. By knowing what your IPv4 address and subnet mask are telling you, you can easily scan the whole network range, locate the router, and discover other devices on the same network.

Why is everyone in such a rush?
Walk into any bookstore, and you'll see how to Teach Yourself Java in 24 Hours alongside endless variations offering to teach C, SQL, Ruby, Algorithms, and so on in a few days or hours. The Amazon advanced search for [title: teach, yourself, hours, since: 2000 and found 512 such books. Of the top ten, nine are programming books (the other is about bookkeeping). Similar results come from replacing "teach yourself" with "learn" or "hours" with "days."

The conclusion is that either people are in a big rush to learn about programming, or that programming is somehow fabulously easier to learn than anything else. Felleisen et al. give a nod to this trend in their book How to Design Programs, when they say "Bad programming is easy. Idiots can learn it in 21 days, even if they are dummies." The Abtruse Goose comic also had their take.
