There are many true statements about complex topics that are too long to fit on a PowerPoint slide.

What this means is that we shouldn't abbreviate the truth but rather get a new method of presentation.

What is to be sought in designs for the display of information is the clear portrayal of complexity. Not the complication of the simple; rather the task of the designer is to give visual access to the subtle and the difficult - that is, revelation of the complex.

We've drifted into this presentation mode without realizing the cost to the content and the audience in the process.

Audience boredom is usually a content failure, not a decoration failure.
