Although I understand your point, I think your analogy is broken.
What is the converter's equivalent of the photographer's concept of
composition, for example?

While a photographer moves around in a 3D world and tries to capture
all the sights, emotions, smells and whatnot of the scene in a 2D
medium, the pixel->ASCII converter takes a picture and converts it to
another medium. It's more akin to a photographer who only takes photos
of old paintings, or a person who specializes in fiddling with the
settings of a photocopier.

Is a discussion technically over if you haven't reached any conclusions?
I say we're _still_ having that discussion. :)
