Since income distributions are roughly log-normal, we should expect the AMT-coverage to appear to grow exponentially (since the AMT's position would be constantly moving towards denser portions of the income distribution curve).

They are eyeballing figures in a log diagram and trying to convince the reader that the ALH84001 magnetites are akin to a biological sample from a magnetotactic bacteria, and they are, and also that they aren't log-normal distributed, which is more uncertain despite their "helpful" sketch of one such distribution.

If one knows statistics, one examines the distribution of results about the mean or median or whatever is appropriate to determine the type of distribution being generated, such as normal, log-normal, binomial or a host of others.

And when the tails of the distribution are at issue, then you see all sorts of arguments about whether or not you're "really" dealing with a Gaussian, or a Gamma, or a Weibull, or a log-normal, or any of a dozen other statistical distributions.
