[R] geom_errorbar() issue in ggplot2

In this case the horizontal lines of the errorbars go output the limits.
And are therefore not displayed. Use coord_cartesian(xlim = 0:1) instead of
setting the limits in scale_x_continuous().

To call in the statistician after the experiment is done may be no more
than asking him to perform a post-mortem examination: he may be able to say
what the experiment died of. ~ Sir Ronald Aylmer Fisher
The plural of anecdote is not data. ~ Roger Brinner
The combination of some data and an aching desire for an answer does not
ensure that a reasonable answer can be extracted from a given body of data.
