Hmm, I would have added a IMHO to that. I think it's purely a matter of
taste and intent. That said, there are very good arguements to not having
image-map based textures on the site, including the obvious that there are
many sites already fulfilling this need.

Funnily enough, when I started reading your analogy, I thought it was going
to go the other way - adjustable wrench = procedural, fixed = image map.
