Bonus gripe: the pie chart is totally misleading, for two related reasons:

- Some segments are arbitrarily taller than other segments (makes them look bigger)

- Some segments are deeper than other segments due to where they are in the bubble.

"Real identity" is listed as 4% of the graph, but it's not clear if they intended for it to be 4% of the volume, top-down area, or horizontal distance on the graph.

It's the worst kind of chartjunk: not just unnecessary, but actively misleading.
