I appreciate the critique, but it's not like an object can't have more than one quality. :) In this case, an illustration was both crudely presented while simultaneously being more personable than, say, a block of text. I'm not sure where the "gotcha" here is.
You really think those descriptions are compatible? I don't mean compatible like "sort-a prominent sorta-not position," I am talking about not mutually exclusive. Uncanny valley has never been something that I imagined being drawn to.
