That's not what I said. If you project your own meaning onto my 100-word comment, it does not surprise me that you project your own meaning onto an entire book.

- haberman 9y agoI'm glad that you like the book. If your goal was to share your positive feelings about it, "obtuse deliberate misreading" and "bae, you cray-cray" may not have been your best strategies. If you want people to be kind and understanding, don't start with insults and insinuations. It is also not convincing when you say that I missed the tongue-in-cheek dry humor but decline to say which of my quoted passages you think were intended to be humorous. I read this book because I had high hopes for it. It disappointed me a lot. I understood your sentence. You didn't understand mine: I made a clear distinction between data and patterns/ideas. I think Tufte overemphasizes data and underemphasizes patterns/ideas.
