my point

If information is "lost" through a lossy conversion, the images are different, and the code I posted will detect those differences.

Note well: The OP didn't ask to find images that "looked the same" or were "substantially similar", or any other form of fuzzy comparison.

He asked for:

I would like my script to compare two images and tell me if even one single pixel is slightly different in one of them.

Which is exactly what the code I posted--as opposed to your theory--does.

Hence, your "point" is pointless.

Funny, this subthread is a good example for aggressiv arguments. =)

Indeed! But he didn't talk about different image formats either, leaving much place for interpretations and clarifications.

If by that you mean direct, forthright and accurate. Then yes, guilty as charged.

Of course, such directness wouldn't be necessary if:

1. people read the questions, that the answers they challenge are addressed to, before challenging them.
2. made some attempt to verify their theories before posting them.
3. didn't continue to argue in favour of those theories long after they have been disproved.

BUK (honestly in your own interest!) if I were you, I would consider having long talks to people in RL or even visiting a therapist from time to time!

Or at least regularly taking long walks in the forest to relax.

Your emotional reactions are close to paranoia.
