I, now thoroughly shamed by you, will try much harder to avoid the unintentional criticism of those I am not addressing. :)

On an unrelated note, did you like the Rosling videos from TED….

It’s mostly a gee-whiz video about visualization.

Are the income numbers adjusted for inflation? Are they means or medians? Are they adjusted for extreme income inequality?

What are the numbers in absolute population? In other words, in 1810 the population was about 1 billion. Now it is close to 7 billion. How many people are still down in that lower left corner today? Half a billion?
