That's what we call dedication to visual accuracy. Next time your grant proposal gets rejected, just explain you needed funding for a paper roll the length of Manhattan to make your graph "properly." Real scientists don't compress data—they just build bigger offices.

Sure, there's no explicit rule against it, just like there's no explicit rule against using Comic Sans in your dissertation... but some crimes against humanity don't need to be codified to be wrong.
