It's just a little ironic that the first example put forward (carvings in a stone tablet) is represented as a jpg image. But the author clearly states: "If you can use text for something, use it"; this is obviously one of the areas where the author used their discretion and decided to use an image to help illustrate the point. The author isn't stating "Don't use images", but "Use text wherever it is possible". EDIT: It seems weird that HN doesn't have a facility to toggle line wrapping in quotes.
