People say the same thing about scans of printouts. But I guess there is a reason for those.

  Those at least destroy any non-visible data.

    I feel like contrast enhancement or similar would be able to bring that back.

      That’s also why they scan in b&w with a potato. Also has the side-effect of making many graphs/charts impossible to interpret.

        > "with a potato" This is either a typo or I want to know more about it.

          It's an Internet running Gag, if the quality of something produced by a technical product is bad, you might say: "Was this filmed/calculated/etc with a potato?" https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.knowyourmeme.com/memes/recorded-with-a-potato https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.knowyourmeme.com/memes/reco...
