Is this a joke? So the examples that she gives as to why KA is terrible are:
(1) He used a pie chart where perhaps a bar or column chart would have been more suitable.
(2) She's "pretty sure" he got the explanation of confidence intervals wrong, but was "so confused by the end" she can't be sure.
(3) The p-value video was accurate but dull.
And all this plus some other _very_ minor complaints ("he mispronounces the adjectival use of “arithmetic”, which is a bit embarrassing" - Seriously??) is enough to justify a massive tirade that makes accusations Sal is lazy, doesn't care, is incompetent, etc? I'm certainly more than willing to hear valid arguments KA is not perfect, but this is just rubbish from someone who frankly seems bitter nobody cares about her videos.
- ZeroGravitas 13y agoBar charts are always preferable to pie charts. But the video was about "reading pie charts", so this is perhaps the one occasion when using a pie chart can actually be justified.
- duskwuff 13y agoBut if you're going to give instructions on reading a pie chart, the pie chart that you give as an example should at least make some sense in that format. Time-series data represented in a pie chart is abnormal.
