How does the "critical language" proposed by *Graphesis* allow for a deeper understanding of "graphical knowledge" than simply interpreting visuals or data?

Synthesized answer

The "critical language" proposed by *Graphesis* allows for a deeper understanding of "graphical knowledge" by offering a specific tool for its analysis [1]. This approach argues for studying visuality from a humanistic perspective [1].

This perspective explores how graphic languages can be employed in fields where qualitative judgments are more important than quantitative statements of fact [1]. While the passages state that *Graphesis* offers a critical language for analyzing graphical knowledge and emphasizes a humanistic perspective that prioritizes qualitative over quantitative judgments, they do not explicitly detail *how* this critical language achieves a deeper understanding compared to simply interpreting visuals or data.
