I agree with this sentiment entirely. Just
because an image is
irreplacable does not mean it has intrinsic value. For instance, the
cover image of a book or CD or DVD is hardly "important". That is,
unless there is something special and unique about that particular
cover that makes it worthy of pointing out especially.
I find cover image of a book a part of essential information about this
book
that I want to see if I want to know about the book. At least for me, as
a reader, it is important. The same for CD/DVD covers, movie posters and
whatnot.
