On a somewhat related note, I think it's interesting that there is data on how people perceive information but that isn't really taught in descriptive statistics (at least it wasn't at my university). I feel like data representation and charts/graphs should be more of a focus if the title of the class is descriptive statistics. I hadn't even heard about "How to Lie with Statistics" or "The Visual Display of Quantitative Information" before randomly finding them mentioned somewhere. I simply learned about some standard graphs without much explanation on why you use them or how they impact the understanding of the audience.
