Sorry Georg, I appreciate the time you took in posting your response,

No, I didn't. I just put a pretty obvious case into a proper context.
Didn't take long... :-)
I wasn't asking what was the opinion on the appropriateness of
alt/title text in a general sense, but what the opinion was on the
purpose of the image that was in question... is it purely aesthetic
or does it convey its own meaning (i.e. is it symbolic of its own
message).
Doesn't matter. See my previous comment...
" Repetitive, rewritten or 'out of context' text adds noise, so it makes
little or no sense to have any alt-text. "
