When working with scatterplots of summary values, such as means or averages, the variation within each group is not represented. This lack of representation of the individual data points' variability can lead to an inflated perception of the strength of a relationship, as the scatterplot might appear 'tighter' or more correlated than it actually is when considering the individual data points.
