Subject: solar monopole
Those diagrams of sun's b-field used to set off my "BAD DIAGRAM" mental
alarms. Common textbook misconceptions have a subclass which is hard to
discuss here without GIFs: incorrect or misleading diagrams. I've heard
that some K-6 publishers include diagrams which are not reviewed by
authors of the actual text. This opens a pathway for "telephone game"
distortions, where an artist must interpret what an author writes, but
without any feedback and progressive corrections from the author.
