Columnist: An information design expert has argued that using the popular presentation-graphics software GIAPS, with its autopresentation wizard and simplistic premade templates, leads people to develop ineffective presentations. But that is absurd. GIAPS is just a tool, so it cannot be responsible for bad presentations. The responsibility must lie with those who use the tool poorly. The columnist's argument is most vulnerable to criticism on the grounds that it ['rejects a claim because of its source rather than its content', 'fails to consider that a tool might not effectively perform its intended function', 'takes for granted that any presentation that is not ineffective is a good presentation', "bases an endorsement of a product entirely on that product's popularity"]
