Perfect example of data representation manipulation:

- take a benchmark created by producers of A and show results for products A-Z

- present the data which does not show a percentage (or "add up" to anything specific), on a pie graph

- take out an arbitrary element which resizes the proportions, to "make the comparison even more striking"

Indeed. Are there really people who look at pie charts and don't read it as representing 100% of something?

What exactly does each slice of that pie represent? X% of performance?

I sure can't wait till my browser claims 100% of performance!

Don't forget to use a 3D pie chart with A closer than Z so that A will appear to have a larger share than it actually has.
