I suppose I’m picking nits here, but David McCandless, characterized as a
“data designer”, was quoted saying that spending on the Iraq war had grown “exponentially” since 1993. Since only 2 data points (1993 and 2010 or so) were shown, there was no evidence presented for what kind of growth was exhibited; it could have been linear.
But despite that, what he and the entire show presented was entertaining and appeared authoritative. It was a fun, inspirational look at a subject some people find boring, and I loved it!
yahts the beautiful math
