Interesting question.

Bigger is better. That seems to be the psychology of data.

Designers struggle with that psychology as they design user interfaces such as gauges in cars, graphs for their bosses, etc. As they design they know there are bigger questions that want to be answered.

When I attended law school I learned how much weight there is in wording of a jury question. I was taught that the best jury question is the one that gets the most votes. But what is actually best in the long run may well be independent of such an instant question. That is the narrow space that Neil deGrasse Tyson is dabbling in. I respect him for his courage.
