This is exactly the same "trick" as plotting graphs on a logarithmic scale - it gives you a different point of view on the data which sometimes (but certainly not always) reveals useful insights.

I wonder if there are interesting scaling/growth/startup point of view changes that are equivalent to other data visualization transformations? Is there a growth-data version of changing from cartesian to polar coordinates perhaps?
