The dot marks the estimate; the line around it
marks how far the true value might be from it.
Error bars have an awkward reversal: a short
interval signals a precise finding yet draws the
least ink, while the most uncertain values get
the longest lines and the most attention. Read
the dot first and the line second. The end of a
line is not a hard boundary.
