I am very familiar with Mr. Tufte's work. I have all his books (literally) and I agree with most of his points.
However, you must live in a dream world if you assume that I can tell a billion dollar, international client that it's an injustice that I take their paycheck to do relatively easy work. Injustice is gay-bashing or racism. Creating Powerpoint templates is never injustice unless they promote gay-bashing or racism.
Here is a good question though for Atomica and Edward Tufte. How should a person with absolutely no design skill and barely any computer skill put together a presentation to sell million dollar sprockets? Often having to put together their presentation in less than two hours? Also this presentation might need to be translated into 10 different languages at some point including non-western text?
I am not asking this question rhetorically. I really want to know. Because if there is a better way, I'd like to do so because Powerpoint is cheesy, but in my experience, it's no-experience-user friendly (if the template and guidelines are done right).
