Hai wasn't there a recent study on how power point and all programs like it often miss represent the data that is been shown, or shows data in a poor often miss interpreted way. And the misrepresentation of the data is so severe in many cases (think he quotes a NASA engineering presentation that totally missed a major flaw) that the true facts are totally lost so as to fit within the format of power points layout.
Think it was on www.slashdot.org late last year.
