I agree, and that's a disingenuous quote in any case: "A photo tells a thousand words." There are many cases when the reverse is true.

- philtar 11y agoA photo tells negative one thousand words? Or a word tells one thousand photos?
- yread 11y agoA photo requires a 1000 word explanation
- vinay427 11y agoI meant the reverse as "a word tells one thousand photos," or can in some cases. Many abstract concepts can be represented by a word in modern human verbal languages, but not so easily only photos.
- trelltron 11y agoI think the existence of Pictionary as a game is a decent example of this.
- TeMPOraL 11y agoA photo may be telling a thousand words, but quite often a lot of those words have little value or relevance to the topic.
