What we've found to be a more tolerable, easy-to-execute view on pivoting is to say, we know what general problem we're focused on solving, but we don't know exactly how to solve it.
Pivots are therefore continual and small. We probe in various directions hypothesizing that a certain approach might help us make headway. Among other things, lowering the stakes and testing in small, bite-sized pieces will make it much easier to sell a new idea to your team.
Tufte makes a lot of noise about communicating complex information visually.
But frankly and ironically, he does an abysmal job of this himself. Have you ever looked at his books? They're a hodge podge of unrelated, poorly visually articulated thoughts that fail to create a larger narrative.
I think the biggest problem is that he's considered the go-to guy on this, when in reality his own work is substandard at best.
