Infographics Amok

In Adage:   Seeing more infographics these days.    Steve Rubel chimes in on their overuse.  I think there is a further problem.  They seem to be a reaction to the under-education of people in the simplest forms of math.  They are also easier to use to spin numbers rather than disclose them.   I prefer a democratization of the data to give more control to the user, the ultimate decision maker.  Give me  the tools to make the decision, not your visually enhanced opinion.
