As first written

The original, by Suggested. The headword above is where it settled — the intention was here first.

Evidentiary appearance in excess of evidentiary content. The bar chart without an axis; the arrow diagram asserting a causation nobody measured.

The deck scored high on infographicity and reported no findings.

Etymologyinfographic + -icity, on specificity, authenticity, historicity.

NoteProvenance: proposed as infographicously. The suffix was blocked on rule, but the replacement changed suffix, part of speech and meaning — the last supplied rather than asked for. The only entry here not descended from the word that prompted it. Prior art: Tufte's chartjunk and data-ink ratio both concern ornament on a graphic genuinely conveying data; this is the rhetorical case.
