Reading through Beautiful Evidence by Edward Tufte and it's such a magnificent book. The whole thing speaks so much to my designer and sculptor mind at the same time it connects to tech work.
I've not read too much into the Columbia disaster and NASA's use of PowerPoint (which he covers in fantastic detail), but I am definitely in tune with the impossibility of relating quality data in castrated bullet points.
Reading this chapter has illuminated a cognitive blind spot for me, i.e. the canyon of understanding between the cleverness of a presenter's slides and the mental synthesis of the audience.
It's like making a joke to a room where nobody laughs because nobody gets it, except it's about making systems safe and they absolutely must get it.
Also loooove the thinking that people have trouble learning from sequentially presented bullet points because they contain no context or relativism, i.e. things we need for learning.
And yes, VPs put incident docs in a powerpoint and incredulously complain that nobody is following the procedures. I've seen it happen more than once!!

Tufte has an awesome description of complexity buried in the Third Principal for the Analysis and Presentation of Data:
"The only thing that is 2-dimensional about evidence is the physical flatland of paper and computer screen. Flatlandy technologies of display encourage flatlandy thinking. Reasoning about evidence should not be stuck in 2 dimensions, for the world we seek to understand is profoundly multivariate. Strategies of design should make multivariateness routine, nothing out of the ordinary. To think multivariate, show multivariate."

I am reading Edward Tufte's incredible tome "Beautiful Evidence" and it connects my data nerd with my design nerd so well. It has me thinking about all kinds of ways evidence is designed in #SRE.
Searching for some online resources, I found what looks like an amazing course, and the whole syllabus is apparently in GitHub pages. Here's the one on the thing I learned about today, Charles-Joseph Minard's map of the War of 1812:
