> Maybe, but I don't think anyone can deny that it is an appalling slide. I count 3 spelling and grammatical errors alone.

The slide from the post that you're referring to (which is 16:9) is a fabricated, probably created for this post, and is not a faithful copy of the actual deck that was presented in 2003. The actual slide—complete with a Boeing watermark, sans some of the errors and presentation issues we can see in the blog post, and in 4:3, of course—can be seen in Tufte's book.

Who knows why the slide in this post was fabricated (and why the author failed to indicate this fact anywhere).
