The output of science is human knowledge, the printouts is only the transport layer. For conveying results, the fact is that making graphs with sliders is usually not worth the effort: you can always make a static figure that tells the same story, and usually with much less effort spent on making sure your sliders don't show anything distracting.
You seem to object simply on the basis that an existing system is old, do you also find it objectionable that some typefaces we use can be traced back thousands of years?
- ktpsns 8y agoJust as much as "a picture is worth a thousand words", I claim a movie can be worth a thousands of pictures. Of course it heavily depends on the research field. I recently worked in fluid dynamics where it is natural to watch movies and publications only have still images, which is always worse. Everybody finds them worse but nevertheless the community sticks to an overtaken way of sharing results.
