No, that just demonstrates how ignorant judges can be with regard to

Off topic, but it made me smile thinking about my not so clued up higher
management going on about adding a "GIF" to pages to mean "image". If
only they knew that I'm disobeying their wishes and sometimes use a JPEG
or even PNG instead...
I know how you feel, I get requested to use all sorts of inferior
technology in various jobs.
At a previous job, I worked with a graphic designer that didn't know
much about PNG at all, and actually once requested that I change all the
PNGs to GIFs. I informed her that PNG was superior to GIF in every way,
and that I only had to avoid alpha transparency and it works just fine.
I don't even use GIF any more, especially since PNG8 can do index
transparency just as effectively as GIF, and I rarely use animated GIFs.
