The idea is great, visualizations are a wonderful way to show information. The lack of information, the difficulty in knowing exactly what the legend is showing you, and having bold colors represent something good in one map and something bad in another make it frustrating. Korzybski's, "the map is not the teritory" is very apt here. The map is only visualizing the data, but if I can't then go see the data, understand how it was collected, and form my own opinions about it, then I can't really use the information. I understand that most ofd us look at the map only, call it good, and move on, but when you want to understand it, you have to give more. It's kinda like me saying, Norway kicks butt. If you don't know why I came up with that, it really doesn't mean anything.
