摘要

在这篇疯狂的咆哮中，我提出了我的怀疑，认为许多可视化图表都是胡扯:这些图表甚至不具备故意撒谎的一般礼仪，但完全不关心世界的状态或任何实际效用。我怀疑这些扯淡的图表占据了实际可视化制作者和消费者的大部分时间和注意力，但在可视化设计的学术研究中似乎是缺席的。

Towards a Theory of Bullshit Visualization

In this unhinged rant, I lay out my suspicion that a lot of visualizations are bullshit: charts that do not have even the common decency to intentionally lie but are totally unconcerned about the state of the world or any practical utility. I suspect that bullshit charts take up a large fraction of the time and attention of actual visualization producers and consumers, and yet are seemingly absent from academic research into visualization design.
