>> Is this view accepted by the fractal compression salesmen?

This view, i.e. accepting lossy compression, is accepted by the
customers in the field of image and video compression.  And what
the customers accept is what's important, not what the salesman
accept.

However, the customers are very particular about the sort of
lossiness they get, and how that compares to the compression ratio.
They need to see lots of examples, not just a few, and they are
generally rather experienced in subjectively evaluating compressed
images and video.
