Function or beauty in dataviz?

While Brinton was passionate about getting things represented accurately, he wasn’t fundamentally against a cartoon approach, such as the one above. He said

Getting this balance right is one of the bigger challenges as we come to the end of the Infographic era, and it’s still being argued.

It’s also the crux of the different between, say, Stephen Few and David McCandless. The former argues for functionality first, the latter puts beauty first. Who is right? It depends.
