Putting up the same picture won't change the reality here, tim. It is the space between the 1 and 10, the 10 and 100, the 0.1 and 1 that defines the log scale. Even if you leave off all the other numbers between them.
Do you insist that a linear axis must include every number on it, or do you accept that if it goes up 0, 10, 20, 30 then all the other numbers between fit the same linear scale without actually having to be drawn in?
