Interesting article. Nice to see Tufte quoted. I took his class about the visual display of information. It was very informative.

Tufte also had a lot to say about the Challenger disaster, which predates Powerpoint but not the visual display of information.

Found the chapter here: https://williamwolff.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/tufte-ch...
