Problem

  • Given the sordid historical misuse of IQ, this gallery example unnecessarily reinforces a crude association between IQ and "smarts" that distracts from the main point, which is to show how to make a histogram.
  • Any attempt to contextualize the meaning of IQ would further distract from this point, so it would be better to just change the axis labels to avoid the negative association.

Suggested improvement

  • Remove the axis labels altogether, as was done here, or change the simulation example to something more neutral, such as the masses of apples from a hypothetical farm.
