It would be much more difficult to make sense of this data if there were multiple trends and short-term variability. (More on the use of animated charts.)

Probably they don't need to compare both sides, since they are usually more or less symmetric. They love the idea of a pyramid, and its change over time towards a coffin-shaped chart... When comparing males and females in a single population a one-sided pyramid with overlapping bars seems to be much better. I'll try to get some feedback from demographers. Jon

The "hairyness" helps to show the range of distrubutions on either side of the chart, and where the selected curves fit within the distributions, but unfortunately I find this "hairyness" makes it difficult to compare the left and right sides of the chart.
