I would say that the most important takeaway from this class is that, generally speaking,” it’s not all about the numbers” – meaning that while data in and of itself is powerful and plenty, the analysis of data is even more important.

“Simplify” can certainly be argued to be the most important principle of visualization. Without simplification of information, especially large sets of information, the audience is left to interpret more pieces than they should be responsible for.
