Corrupt Techniques in Evidence Presentations
Another look at Edward Tufte’s new book, Beautiful Evidence: “Here is the first of several chapters on consuming presentations, on what alert members of an audience or readers of a report should look for in assessing the credibility of the presenter. Most of Beautiful Evidence is about helpful techniques in evidence presentations; these 3 or 4 chapters, however, will describe sources of corruption. This draft will be posted for a month or so; I’d appreciate helpful comments.”
