Does Not Illustrate: Everything Sensor get usage counts

The picture needs its caption to tell us what's going on. Yes, the guy in the picture is holding a device, but he isn't using it to sense anything, let alone everything. He's not even looking at it.
Special trousers. Very heroic.

Not very much added from the visuals there, I may say.

Change the caption to something like "According to my readings, Capt. Kirk wishes to tap that." and I think we can save the current pic.

Motion to pull, does not illustrate the trope.

Just a guy and a device and a caption. JAGAADAAC doesn't really roll off the tongue, but the point is that "sensing" anything is absent from the picture.

Obviously my vote's to change the caption to my suggestion, but if that doesn't get support then I'd be fine with removing the pic/caption.

Eh, he's holding a sensor and the caption says it's an everything sensor. Not very good, I'd be fine with pulling but wouldn't be ripped to pieces if it's kept. I'm not sure I like the caption suggestion, though, it just seems like an in-joke.

The clock's up, and since we don't have a clear consensus on what to do, let's lock up and move on. I'll change the caption to something that makes the "everything" part a little more obvious (but not what I suggested...darn it sad) Locking up.

The system doesn't know you right now, so no post button for you.
You need to Get Known to get one of those.
