Images can't encode knowledge
Knowledge consists of information that applies to a range of possible situations. Analogue images, however, only carry information about the situations from which they rose; in themselves, they lack generality of application.
Zenon Pylyshyn (1973).

Note: Also see the "Can computers represent the analogue properties of images?" arguments on this map.
