Take the size = 3 out of the aesthetic mappings, and put it directly
in geom_pointrange(size = 3) - this way you are setting the size to 3
(mm) rather than asking ggplot to map a variable containing only the
value 3 to the size of the points/lines. It's a subtle but important
distinction, and I need to figure out how to explain it better.
