1. 2D plots are not intuitive for comparisons like this
2. Barplots are just fine
3. Spotted that the areas were wrongly scaled! Have asked twitter world and @azandisarietta was generous in helping out
4. I missed mapping the size variable inside aes() and was trying to assign size parameter inside geom_point
5. Came to know about a python program to detect circles in an image (added to repo)
