Innovative, maybe - but it's inaccurate - and you have no idea, when you see this tangled web

VisualJournalism - covering Malofiej 2010 this week
Experts choose their favourite graphic
Malofiej 2002: Javier Errea had collected the results of the survey between the 21 experts. Obviously they couldn’t agree on the ‘best graphic’ although Minard’s Napoleon map got two votes.
However, the most successful artist might be Nigel Holmes, who was selected three times.
Below are all the results. Regrettably without the graphics. (- hey, there has to be advantages to show up at the actual conference, eh?)
