I'm glad that a warning was given about graphs of "potential [equity] compensation value."
I've seen this abused where co-founders were only paid in equity. Instead of being told their percentage ownership, they were shown a similar extremely hypothetical graph. Unfortunately, in reality their equity only was worth ~$600/year (when computed using their percentage ownership and current valuation, which takes into consideration future risk).
