First time reading this book - thank you!
The `,but` did not read well for me, as the statement
> [visualisations] don't scale particularly well because they require a human to interpret them
Does not seem to conflict with the statement
> Visualisations can surprise you
`and` appeared more appropriate as these appear to be two outcomes from visualizations; unless I am wrong about the intent of the sentence.
An alternative version, which I did not think was the intent, would read
> Visualisations can surprise you, but don't scale particularly well, because they require a human to interpret them.
