This is a common point of view, but in my opinion it is not the most  
useful one.

There are at least 3 different working assumptions you can make about  
how to treat pixels and co-ordinates - and I fear that there is not  
universal agreement among all IJ users/developers.

The dangerous part is that each camp often assumes that their view is  
"obviously" the correct one.  That way be religious wars.
