I understand that this was just an introduction to PID, but I felt like it would have also been beneficial to mention something about how sometimes with real data, the graph doesn't turn out as well as the graphs you show do.

That's a very valid point, but for the sake of the clarity of the explanation I decided early on not to get too bogged down in numbers (the only graph axis that I ever had nubmers labeling was time) and the complications that come with applying PID to real life.
