From Nasa Visualisation tool 'advert':
""Science should be accessible to everyone, and visualization reveals the meaning and value of the often intangible, but essential, data delivered by NASA's research efforts," Starobin continued. "Data visualization makes information immediately visual and understandable when it otherwise might go unnoticed."
Is that true? Does visual immediacy entail immediate understanding?
