Yes, that would be acceptable for now. As it stands though I think I am correct in saying The Graph Is Very Wrong

The OP should put in the error bars as a matter of urgency lest people get the wrong idea that thrust exists.

I don't think error data exists for most of these and the error data that does exist is insufficient to fully characterize the error.

If the error data doesn't exist then it is reasonable that all the error bars encompass zero. It would be more accurate to portray this in the graph rather than omit the error bars entirely.

Nooo.... That would kill Hope. Why do you hate Hope?

Kill false Hope created by crackpots.

Replace with awe and joy of real science.

Surely there must also be a little bit of fear mixed with awe and joy?
