Reply to comment by notkevinjohn in [OC] How to spot misleading charts? I would like to hear your opinion on the subject, also any tips design-wise? by dark_o3

If the units are different (e.g. a percentage and a number, or a number and a currency), a second scale on the same axis is basically a must. Also, I can't recall ever seeing a real graph break this rule and put two scales on the same axis when the units were the same. As such, calling it out in this guide might do more harm than good.
