I didn't think that the editorials I read at Space.com were denigrating the mission, and I agree, the results were/are/will be fabulous, with or without images. ESA just didn't do a good job of marketing the initial results, and whether we like it or not, it's the images that spark the interest and pique the curiosity for most of the population.

Looking at the images, just as they are, I am proud to be human being.
