???

(a) the quote you're replying to doesn't imply that. It only implies 
that if you paint an image map to use on an object, you cannot claim 
otherwise. (I hope this isn't controversial.)

(b) The post you're replying to covered this in a different paragraph:

"It would seem to me that you could submit this to the IRTC provided 
that the "source" included the picture from stage one. This would be the 
equivalent of an image map being the bulk of a raytrace, and with 
correspondingly low scores."

So, yes, of course you can use image maps. The more your scene is an 
image map, however, the more low scores you can expect to receive.
