We’ll this article is maybe a good case in point. Surely as they were talking of tiled geometry there could have been space for a few visual examples, even if they hit a practical limit and said ‘It’s theoretical from here but this gives the idea’.

But the punchline of the story quashes the hope of a nice illustration of the result: the proof works in 2^(100^100)-dimensional space. We always joke that one must only visualize n-space and set n to 2^(100^100)... but that isn't much of a help. It really is a nasty geometry.
