That is an author centric view. It is far more important to take a

Do we have any objective information on what format produced the

Well, readers can't read what authors can't produce.
Perhaps a good image trumps good text, but I don't think we can assume
that this is the choice we'll be faced with in general, mediocre image
vs good text or bad image vs mediocre text seems more likely.
Images of any quality do not excuse poor text. Producing good text is
not negotiable and we have mechanisms in place to ensure the quality of
the text.
However it is our job to produce the most lucid description of the
specification and I go back to my question, what format is most
effective for the readers?
