I disagree with the point that "there's no alternative to crafting a well-structured presentation". I'd argue that a jupyter notebook or equivalent (e.g. pweave) is 1000X better than powerpoint.

That sentence was qualified by "in lecture format", i.e. with a teacher exposing words and images with a projector, like you do with PowerPoint.
Jupyter notebooks, like explorable explanations, require the audience to interact with the tools and not merely be passive watchers, which was the context for that sentence.
