It's probably because we teach students to write every year in school but we almost never teach them to draw diagrams & pictures. It's not a skill most people feel they are expected to have (and most people rely too much on external expectations from schooling)

definitely! I’ve also seen it argued that the early emphasis on developing an “individual style” in western art education leads to overall lower rates of drawing literacy than in e.g. Japan, where it’s treated more like language educationallyhttps://twitter.com/maxkreminski/status/825059805802803200 …

I strongly agree, and wish we had those resources allocated. I’m super proud of the figures in https://textiles-lab.github.io/publications/2018-autoknit/ … but and also, they were like 75% of the work that I, a full-time team member with architectural drawing training, spent several months on.

oh wow, the figures in that paper are *really good*. gets me thinking about how the development of a visual language for communicating about a domain can itself be a major research contribution

Imagine how much more comprehensible academic papers would be if literally they switched to word count instead of page count, so you could include as many figures and diagrams as you needed to without having to sacrifice whole paragraphs of info to clearly make a point!

"On one hand, I could include this diagram to make the system description super easy to understand. On the other hand, to do that I'm going to need to cut two paragraphs from my discussion actually explaining my findings....hmmmmm"

diagrams are a language like any other and people feel painfully illiterate when making them I feel. the reflex of labeling a box with arrows in a whiteboard doesn't go much further without a culture encouraging that.

UML is an interesting case because it's like an esperanto that requires learning to be consistent in pre existing diagrams that by themselves are fine. And by extension non-UML diagrams are less likely to be used with it, so by extension that smaller cultures are left out.
