There is never ending discussion about simply decorating data vs. making it more meaning full. In my opinion which direction we should choose depends on the mix of above three roles. And nobody says that we can’t make it beautiful and meaningful at the same time, what is what I always try to do.
C’est très court, pas franchement un article, encore moins une argumentation, mais ça pose assez clairement la question.
