Bret Victor in a talk with profound implications for modern communications:

The wrong way to understand a system is to talk about it, to describe it. The right way to understand it is to get in there and model it and explore it. And you can’t do that in words. And so what we have is people are using these very old tools — people are explaining and convincing through reasoning and rhetoric instead of the newer tools of evidence and explorable models. We want a medium that supports that… that is naturally show and tell.
