Modern "infographics" like those by informationisbeautiful are extremely often terrible in exactly the ways that Tufte warns against. They are often beautiful, but rarely excel at their original purpose of displaying data.
I agree what many infographics (the contraction is the first hint) are often more beautiful than informational.
But yours was a general remark. Did you mean it to imply that the idea isn't good or just my particular example?
I think that good graphics illustrating some point about rationality would be a really cool thing to have in the quotes thread.
