Looks pretty, until you try to actually read it. Then it’s no better than the spiro-graph from The Economist, which I deconstructed in Spiraling Down the Drain. Using a rotational symmetry is even less valid here, because there is no natural repetition in ten years as the Economist chart showed in 12 months.
