Reframe the reference list; cite far more widely
"Canon" was leaking onto the public site — a nav item, a footer block, a page title, a set of CSS class names. It was also driving content decisions it had no business driving: the backlog was ordered around which references were still unused, which is curation dressed up as planning. The page is now /references/, the list is documented as a bibliography to grow rather than a canon to curate, and the backlog says plainly that a sin earns a slot by being worth a page — sources are found to support it, never the reverse. Adds six sources (Cairo's Truthful Art, Few's Show Me the Numbers, the Economist's audit of its own charts, Kosara's eagereyes, WTF Visualizations, Datawrapper's dual-axis piece) and roughly doubles the citations on the five published sins, to 5-7 each. Two of the new notes point at sources that complicate our own position rather than back it. The Economist essay ships without a URL rather than a guessed one.
