Why this image
I chose an original conceptual illustration of contrasting workflows and a shared review point to support this specific comparison. It is a visual metaphor for the decision, not product-performance evidence.

A wordless gouache painting on warm ivory paper. Two compact workbenches on opposite sides of a shallow canal are linked by a bridge holding blank papers and a magnifying glass. Unmarked wooden crates, spools of thread and small modular blocks suggest assembling a sequence of tasks. Both sides are equally inviting and equally prominent. Forest green, sage, ocean teal, restrained ochre, fine architectural ink, subtle tactile paper grain. Hand-painted editorial art, coherent perspective and gentle natural light, landscape composition. Absolutely no writing anywhere: no words, letters, numbers, captions, labels, signs, diagrams, arrows, logos, screens, charts, maps or interface. All surfaces and book spines are blank. No people or robots.
