My dear boy, do you have *any idea* how awkward it is to draw a 
logarithmic scale so all the numbers are readable?

At the bottom of the scale, the distance from 1 to 2 is big enough to 
fit a parking lot in. But higher up, the distance between (say) 9 and 10 
is so tiny you can bearly fit the numbers on without them overlapping. 
It's really frustratingly tricky to pick an arrangement of labels and 
tick marks that looks "nice and clean".
