Keep the images coming. I can get someone's opinion anywhere.
Your post reminded of something you might just appreciate Michael.
My graduate advisor told me this about 20 years ago. It was around then when published scientific papers were transitioning from hard copy to partially electronic (now they are all fully electronic). To save paper in the transition, authors could submit much of their scientific data to be part of what was called Supporting Information, not part of the formal paper version of the publication. The author's interpretation of the data and conclusions is what made up the bulk of the publication.
My advisor felt it should be the opposite: all the data should be what is readily viewable on paper (and put their interpretation in the supporting information!) and let the reader come to their own conclusion.
