The pen is mightier than the sword, but a picture is worth a thousand words.
So is a picture of a sword mightier than the pen?
But that doesn't make sense: couldn't I just poke a hole through the picture with the pen? But with the actual sword, I would be able to chop the pen up into little bits, whereas no harm could be done to the sword. I was hoping the sword could at least get vicarious satisfaction by at least having its picture be mightier, but now I'm confused. What is the resolution to this conundrum?
