- #3: We love data!

- #10: Analytics cycle: Ask the right questions Collect and analyze the right data Take action Communicate action to community (side note: your target audience should realize the action took place without you telling them) Traditional analytics: Does a great job of explaining the answer to a specific question, we want to empower folk to ask more questions (the five whys) Limits who can ask and answer questions Views visualization, reports, or dashboards as the end of the cycle (in the communications phase, whereas we propose visual analysis belongs in communicate, ask, analyze phases) Analysis may be time and skill intensive (advanced skillsets, you and your brain have to work hard to deduce what is right) (transition) Visualization can help us surface insights that we might miss otherwise

- #18: Statistics and data tables communicate numbers, but visualization allows us to see a more holistic picture of what is happening with our data. All four of these tables have the same statistical properties. However, if these tables depicted drug trial efficacy and health outcomes you can see how you may be more interested in particular aspects of each graph.
