:::There is a third dimension. It is time itself. Ants unlike ink can move along that axis. However my interpretation takes liberties with the definition of graph.[[Special:Contributions/12.198.205.9|12.198.205.9]] 23:01, 11 July 2013 (UTC) | :::There is a third dimension.

:The title doesn't say anything about coordinates. The axis is "certainty", which is a scalar value. --[[Special:Contributions/108.162.216.8|108.162.216.8]] 16:34, 28 June 2014 (UTC) | :The title doesn't say anything about coordinates.

I like this comic. But I think "subjective probability" or "degree of belief" might be better than "certainty", because 0% certainty that it's polar is not 100% certainty that it's not polar. I think 0% certainty means that you have no pertinent information, and might as well flip a coin. Also, switching it to be self-refuting rather than self-confirming would also be funny. --Clay | I like this comic.
