I don't disagree. The problem with our example above is it is a
little over simplified :-)
e.g. in my example it uses a image thumbnail code, and a simple
template.
But of course a gallery could generate images and more that fit into
your category.
Comes back to the usual answer though - there is more than one way to
do it, and they should each be evaluated depending on the specs :-)
