I guess someone at Merriam-Webster has good taste!
Though it figures that they’ve associated me with all of my least favorite uncertainty visualizations. With my luck someone will probably put an error bar on my tombstone (really, please don’t).

If only you had written, “even though error bars seem exact, people often misinterpret them,” you could have had a double-header. (Congratulations!)
Congrats to you as well
If it also was a bucket list item for you and you can now retire, I can’t clearly tell
But I reason it must be nice for you to see, or it’s at least “just fine”
Being quoted in a dictionary using words like “centerline”
And, from what you wrote, I hope I don’t misinterpret
Or be inconsiderate
But I just want to note that if you do end up on a cemetery with a tombstone
And if one then glances at the other graves in that particular row or zone
It might be the case that from a certain perspective one could see
That your tombstone might be a bar of some sort of a bar graph, regardless of your indirect plea
So, I hope you don’t mind me saying that whether you like it or not
There needn’t even be error bars on your tombstone or somewhere else at your lot
For your tombstone to show, or be, one of your least favorite data- and uncertainty visualizations
That is, if a bar graph belongs to that category in your relevant considerations
It is “just fine”! But I don’t think I should retire until I’m in there with some stronger quotes. Even i don’t know what I meant with that bit about seeming exact :-)
