this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Man, I am sorry to keep spamming with The Pie Chart Saga, but I just got copied in on the end of the email chain with the Editor-in-Chief, and Pie Chart Author really wrote this:
"Readers will expect it from me. Had I realized such a figure was not acceptable to JAMA Journals, I would have submitted elsewhere. No other journal has ever hesitated to publish a figure of this sort. The apparently offending pie chart is attached (hopefully with its format intact). It is simple and unambiguous. It is a canonical illustration of our results. It is truly bait-and-switch to ban it after acceptance. Can you possibly help me?"
Someone has the ego of a white male Senator. Holy moly.
Although (and I realize I'm burying the lede here), the Editor-in-Chief did tell Pie Chart Author to look at our Author Instructions, which clearly include the words "Do not use pie charts." And so Pie Chart Author said (I may save this email forever) "I concede."

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Get ready for the imminent launch of Pie Chart Monthly, whose author instructions will prohibit verbal descriptions of relative percentages.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

One of those other, more prestigious and well-known journals.

Clearly the AMA's draconian style standards are holding this author's work back from rocketing to the top of the New York Times Best Sellers List.
