I think you misinterpreted my response. When you ask the question "What is wrong with words?" in conjuncture with "X should be text based"; you are either genuinely asking for a reason for why would a designer chose images instead of text or you are being sarcastic.
I assumed you were genuinely asking the question; because assuming sarcasm would have meant it was more or less useless for the thread. Hence, I pointed out both pros and cons of using image icons. Additionally I was also replying to the root comment and to those who were agreeing to the sentiment.
