In the end, everything looks good on a log-log plot.

The increase in computing power and miniaturization of electronics were part of the “log-log paper and a straight edge” view of the future, and the only errors in that area were the slope of the line that got drawn.

And I measured out the lengths of straw, put it on a log-log plot, got the scaling exponent, and it almost exactly matches the scaling exponent for the relationship between wind speed and height in the wind engineering handbook.

Now several studies over the last fifteen years have found that the size of insertions and deletions follows a power law, i.e. a log-log plot of size versus frequency is linear.
