this is a good picture!
This is suprisingly legible
That's because it's missing some lines like stagnation enthalpie and stagnation pressure
Nice I like this
Calm down, sir. π≠3 is just a suggestion
Yes, please show me those 4d curves
Illiterate != inaccessible
Also pictures are more difficult to translate into braille or large text. So a picture actually makes this less accessible.
Unless text is removed to add the picture, nobody loses anything by adding additional tools that help some people.
I heavily disagree. As a visual learner I need pictures. Everything is visual to me, even math, language, programming… if you give me a wall of text using abstract terms I won't understand shit. I require graphs, visual representations, mindmaps, something.
It might not be the optimal medium for everyone (there is no universally accessible medium for anything!), but to argue that pictures make things less accessible is just plain wrong.
I don't feel that removing the "of Spiderman" was necessary here
World category theoretical diagram suffice?
People will just use AI to summarize (after which they will pretend to understand, just like they would do to a picture).
