To be fair, a correlation of 0.06 is very often uninteresting even before graphing it. And as you increase the correlation it becomes a lot harder to draw pictures.

True, but there are plenty of more straightforward examples that do work

From the NIST/SEMATECH e-Handbook of Statistical Methods, http://www.itl.nist.gov/div898/handbook/ which I point new engineers to when they ask me questions about the background to stats that we use.

The person who posted the original graphs deleted his account. It was about phrenology and whether someone seemed trustworthy.

It did inspire me to go fishing and find a stronger correlation than some they were reporting

Yes, that is China is population rank=1 Afghanistan alphabetical rank=1 and yes it is bad.
