Tufte's a bit crazy

I agree that Tufte seems to have a grudge against power point. I mean, comparing it to Soviet propaganda it taking it a bit too far. He said that the viewer doesn't get enough information from a power point presentation because it is just bullet points. But you would not write out a whole presentation on a few slides. I was always taught that you put the general idea of what you want to talk about on each slide and then you go back and explain it. Tufte is making it sound like whoever is giving a power point presentation is a complete idiot. I know that power point has its flaws (but so does any other program.) It all depends on the presenter and the audience. I just think that Tufte was over exaggerating.
