    The whole premise is so flawed... A photo is only a limited rendition of reality that can also give a false impression of the subject. Anyone could claim to be altering the photo to be a more accurate depiction of the subject, and then getting it wrong.. etc.

    And of course an image that appears to be a photo doesn't (currently) have to actually be a photo.. there is no claim in a lot of editorial that the images are actual photos, and it would be a big limitation on freedom in publishing to start to require all imagery to be classified and notated... ("this is a photo, this an illustration/montage that has some photo portions in it, this is an illustration with no photo portions in it, but samples colours and textures from several photos, etc..)
