Absolutely true. The value I got from preparing and delivering a ten-week lecture and seminar module on design and patent law goes way beyond what I was paid or the CV boost. I genuinely came out of it finally getting a good grasp on some hitherto abstruse bits of IP law, because I'd both had to find a way to explain them clearly to others and answer questions on them.
If anything I'd split that bottom layer into two - lecturing on a subject, and running (as opposed to just participating in) interactive seminars or tutorials on it. You really get to know your stuff doing the latter.

But I am awesome!
Also, spurious precision if not entirely made-up percentages on that graphic. And they don't match the size of the components.
But ... er, yes, I did used to teach the appropriate use of graphical information, and appraisal of scientific evidence, now you mention it ...
