If you get right down to it, isn't all writing made up of pixels, which
can be seen under sufficient magnification?  And certainly all printing?
Also, if we're to consider gaps between the pixels which are too small
for the naked eye to see, why wouldn't we also consider cracks that are
too small to see?
