That’s a great point, in a similar vein I routinely see people post photos on social media taken with their phone, side by side with a photo taken by a high end camera, saying “I bet you can’t tell the difference, expensive cameras are a waste of money when phones are so good”.

Well of course, you’re comparing 1.5 megapixels compressed JPEGs. If you display those photos on a large monitor - let alone print them - the differences will be immediately obvious.

Yes, but sometimes that’s moving the goalposts when the purpose was to post a picture on the web.
