Why spend money on tokens to process linked text when you can comment off the headline?

Depending on how much one's willing to stretch that argument, they can also point out that all known life is digital.

Human genome is, effectively, a historical digital record (Nature, DOI: 10.1038/nature10231).

Makes me question what else they are incompetent in.

Your mileage may vary, I have an anecdote to tell.

About a decade ago, I went to North Wales for vacation and obtained a 70's Soviet camera in pristine condition (Zorki-4K) at a car boot sale, along with the original case and strap.

A couple days later, it came to my attention there was a carnival nearby. And, frankly, I'm not sure if "carnival" is what it's called, but they had a Ferris wheel, merry-go-round, stuffy prizes, that kind of thing.

All I had with me was my Zorki and a couple rolls of b&w 35mm film. By the time I got there, it was dark, I had to push the exposure quite a bit, and I was so focused in trying to understand the gear I had, a couple of local policemen came to me and start asking why I was taking pictures.

Even after hearing my thick accent, seeing my vintage camera, examining my Russian passport, they weren't satisfied and wasted almost half an hour of my time checking some sex offender database for my name.

I didn't even bother to process the roll, none of those pictures had enough light.

I worked for a public university in America, therefore being a public employee. Any of my neighbors could easily go to the state website and look up my income.

Frankly, I never felt that to be an issue. It was also nice to have that transparency in the workplace, all of my colleagues knew exactly how much any of us made.

To add, it's common to see a headshot in an acting resume.

any chance you could help find a source for that?
