It's the trend line generation, not the data. The start and end points are the same between the two graphs. To say that this nitpick throws shade on the entire project is a bit overstated.

What you just said doesn't make any sense and is a post-hoc rationalization besides.

The start and end points are the same between the two graphs.

Actually they are not. The starting numbers (1980) differ between the two charts by ~500,000 deaths.

To say that this nitpick throws shade on the entire project is a bit overstated.

My very first search on the data came up with this. I suppose I could have kept searching but that puts me personally at a 100% error rate. Maybe I'm just really really unlucky, though.
