for the most part, how clear the charts were, how well they illustrated the points that you wanted to make.
And I can't commend that too highly to the people who are listening.

outliers and how can they be used or excluded to spread erroneous information?
In the book, you refer to graphicacy, graphical literacy, and the book itself is organized into several chapters, each of them explaining one principle or guideline to become more informed readers of charts.
What do we need to pay attention to when we read a graph or a map?
Again, we need to be... Like

You know, you start with a table of median incomes for counties in Florida and progress from there to a chart which shows how median income correlates with education.
Is this part of what charts do, support arguments that the chart designer wishes to make?
You know, I'm thinking that perhaps the same arguments were made by the people who originally wished to put pictures in books.

I also think that most of us are familiar with three basic types of charts, line charts, bar charts, and pie charts.
