Update intro.Rmd (#961)

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.
