My father worked for governments all his life as an engineer and public works director.

Public discussions are part of what it takes to make changes in the trillions of graphics published each year.

Clutter is not an attribute of information, clutter is a failure of design...fix the design rather than stripping all the detail out of the map.

I think it is important for software to avoiding imposing a cognitive style on workers and their work.

There is no such thing as information overload, just bad design. If something is cluttered and/or confusing, fix your design.

Allowing artist-illustrators to control the design and content of statistical graphics is almost like allowing typographers to control the content, style, and editing of prose.

I am certainly not an intellectual relativist, nor a moral relativist.
