Just eyeball the (L,SE) plots.

When I look at the two (L,Aubqe) plots I have, the first thing I see
is an empty vertical gap about 10 units wide whose right edge is near
the L-mean. The distribution on the left of the gap looks linear, but
the distribution on the right looks more like a quadratic tipped on
its side, as in L = a + b*(Aubqe - c)^2. Does anyting like that show
up anywhere else?
