I'm not suggesting that the other diagrams shouldn't be used, just that box diagrams aren't wrong, they hide data, which is sometimes useful.

I wish we could educate everyone in the ways data can be misrepresented - scale, non 0 axis starting, omitting categories, combining groups, colours, point sizes not representative of data - and they can all be levelled at other graph types, singling out box plots for hiding is no different, but IMHO not justification for not using them with the right audience.
