Correction: A Picture is Worth 84.1 Words (via xplane) -- "Three empirical investigations suggest that the kinds of pictures used as visual programming languages do convey a predictable amount of information.

A fourth study provides an alternative explanation - these results could arise from experimental demand factors. The conclusion is therefore more cautious than the title."
