Some time ago a visitor of SE site by the name of Uhl, who accidentally turned out a human factor engineer, pointed out some shortcomings of our rating bar graphs – extending left beyond the first score and disproportional lengths of bars relative to their values. He suggested a few variants which eliminate those drawbacks. We found the arguments are reasonable and corrected our bar graphs according to the recommendations.

Thank you, Uhl, for your efforts; new bars are visually more correct and understandable indeed.
