on Peter Morville’s column Strange Connections column, “Information Architecture and Ulcers” (http://argus-acia.com/strange_connections/strange002.html), and quantitative data

I was happy to read Morville’s column, and also see the link within it to the book How to Lie with Statistics. I had already ordered a copy of The Visual Display of Quantitative Information, and though I expect both works might cover similar ground, I look forward to paging through both to get a better sense of how to detect bogus statistics (or bogus representations of), as well as how to do a better job correctly gathering, interpreting, and representing statics in my own work. I am interested in investigating ‘triangulation’, which I had not heard of before Morville’s link–if this is a method to combine qualitative and quantitative research in meaningful ways, I expect this to be a tremendously useful method.
