Agreed. There are lots of examples where you really shouldn't start the Y axis at zero, e.g. if zero is not a reasonable value of whatever measure you're displaying. If I want to display the past few years' average temperatures in Miami, I should not start either the X-axis (year) or the Y-axis (temperature) at zero.
