Unexpected Illusion

This image (from this site) makes it look like the "0" line is curving downwards. For you as well, or just me?

Yes.

Yes, in a matter of fact, it does.

Have you checked to be sure it's not actually curving downwards?

You never know...

(PS: I have checked. It's not.)

Yes, I did check before posting (by scrolling the "0" line to the bottom of my browser window to see if it was parallel to that).

Yes, definitely.

Which is ironic, given that the point of the graph seems to be that things will get better.

I had seen that graphic previously but not noticed the illusion until you pointed it out. Cool!
