Exactly. If you take a look at Talk:Clitoris/Image discussion, you will see that all options were offered, and the option of *showing the photo inline* (instead of just a link) got the most votes of all.
This shows me that you are right that majority vote is not the right way to determine the correct result. Majority vote is very frequently not helpful in finding or determining NPOV.
Indeed, this is MPOV: Majority Point of View. The two are only the same if there is a truly *overwhelming* majority. Otherwise, NPOV is a meta-wise compromise, so to speak.
