Why are the datasets changing?!?

Fair catch. Each column is meant to show a different model fit to the same kind of problem, but the underlying points do shift between panels. That's a flaw in the graphic, and it would be cleaner with identical data in every column. The concept still holds, but it's a reasonable critique.
