A defence of the straight line

Warning: I've been thinking!

There seems to be a trend in recent years for everything to be represented in
various curves. They are very pretty and (possibly) technically more correct,
but is that what the user wants?

Take a simple amplitude envelope for example, showing intensity V time. Now
that is often shown as a logarithmic curve, but the whole idea behind such a
curve was to give our ears a *linear* impression of intensity change, so why do
we now give our ears one impression but our eyes something completely different?

Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
