Yup, that's what the research says *in favour of* images.

However, other research indicates that images slow down learning 
because the learner gets complacent. Rather than engaging in deep 
learning, they glance at the image, copy-n-paste the code, and 
never truly understand what they're working with. At some point 
down the road, they get into trouble because they don't have that 
deep understanding and they abandon any further efforts.

So, that's the dilemma. Both arguments seem sound to me, so 
that's why I'm still on the fence.
