Well.. no, it isn't downplaying it. It's representing it perfectly. That's quite literally the point.
When graphs aren't zero-based, you immediately make a bad intellectual assumption as well as an 'emotional' reaction to the size of the graph. That immediate bad assumption poisons the way you think.
The only time you shouldn't zero-base a graph is when the change is too small to reasonably decipher without enlarging the scale. I'll die on that hill.
