           | Tufte catches some flack for being opinionated, but having
           | met the man I can attest that he is both brilliant and
           | astute. His seminar leveled up my design skills more than I
           | even imagined. It was interesting watching how many attendees
           | were so committed to their own conceptions that they learned
           | nothing though.
