I think it is a fundamental point, not just semantics.
What about ascii art? Is that text or graphics? Or both?

In the end we'll have to agree to disagree.
One camp sees the big difference between 1D/2D, the other between
ascii/pixels.
Neither is more right than the other, it's just different ways of
looking at it.
