Hey Des, Sorry if my comment sounded overly critical — I'm sure you know well the frustration you can get from infographics, and simultaneously the urge to just have everything be somehow perfect, suddenly. I want to also mention that I appreciated bringing up the Victoria Secret graphics. Sometimes it is important to lie, much like humor being the best way to tell a sad story. Anyway, thanks for writing the article. Despite my criticisms, I'm always happy to see more arguments to whittle away abject trust in garden variety infographics. To round out my comment, I want to mention that I really appreciated the note that there is definitely a time for confusing, artistic infographics even if they are misleading. Victoria's Secret graphics can definitely raise awareness from 0 in a hostile crowd, they also can overemphasize detils to compensate for the audience's unwillingness to consider them meaningfully.
