[R] Help with a third ggplot error

[Richard O'Keefe]

Nobody else has asked the obvious question:  why are the data squashed
together
like that in the first place?  why not modify the process that generates the
data so that it does not do that?  Jamming things together like that is not
common practice with CSV files, so what does the CSV file look like and why
does it look like that?
