That is not something I ever stated an opinion on.  I was providing
factual evidence, not passing judgment on anything.  The alt text I
cited is clearly "bogus" in the sense that it's added solely to evade
validation errors, without any attempt to actually provide a useful
text alternative to the image.  I make no claims beyond that.

If you have questions about the evidence I provided, of a sort that
would likely be germane should the issue be reopened, then it's
possible this list is a correct place to ask.  Otherwise, I most
likely will not respond further on this list, because (if I interpret
the chairs correctly) such discussion is unwanted here at this point.
