The R relevance here might be that all the statistics in the world wrongly applied to data will only bury its information content... R and Powerpoint (and Matlab and Perl and...) are all terrific tools for turning data into knowledge, but tools DO NOT relieve us of the necessity of thinking about and analyzing the meaning of the data with our intellect as well. It is wrong to blame ANY tool for our own shortcomings!
