No, not really. I was just surprised that people attempted visual-style representations, complete with details, without having sufficient data for even an approximation.
If I’m specifically asked to visualize a triangle, I can do so—and then tell you how it’s oriented, what color it is, and what color the background is. None of those things are really implied, and they’re not necessary either. But if I just hear a triangle mentioned, I perceive none of those things. The thought that someone would is strange to me.
