Lady, EVOLVED 
is an animated gif an image?
why is an animated gif an image?
is an animated GIF, where each frame is a page of text, an image?
ok, well, is a JPEG of a page of text an image?
ok well, if you print out a JPEG of a page of text, surely that is still an image then?
what if i take a Polaroid photograph of a page of text? is that an image?
ok, so. a photocopy of a page of text. surely that is an image?
neat, so if i scan a page of text and then print it out, surely that is an image too, right?
what do you think a photocopy is
@Lady Same thing a printout of a scan would be. If the original source was text, the photocopy of that source would also be text.
@unspeakablehorror this was my thought, but the polls disagree
@Lady Which polls? The one asking if a printout of a scan is an image too got a majority nos, so I would assume that majority considers photocopy text too. Unless there was a photocopy poll I didn't see?
@Lady Ah, okay! Yeah, I didn't see that one for some reason.
