The Space Shuttle Columbia disaster and the over-reliance on PowerPoint (2019)

The slide is so bad it might be intentional. The intent would be to be reassuring enough that no one will point at Boeing and say "Boeing technical failure strands astronauts in space", while providing just enough information that in the event (at the time of writing the slide considered very unlikely) things go bad, they can say that nothing was withheld.

Yeah, the problem here isn't Powerpoint, it's what it said. This is a case of shoot the messenger. Powerpoint doesn't hinder communication, it lets people think they understand when their actual knowledge is superficial and can easily be a case of the primrose path.
