Yeah but the article is about a pixel, which has different meanings. Making blanket statements is not helpful in resolving definitions.
Truth is, a pixel is both a sample and a transducer. And in transduction, a pixel is both an integrator and an emitter.
I’ll quote my other comment:

Sometimes yes. Sometimes no! There are certainly situations where a pixel will be scaled, displayed, edited or otherwise treated as a little square.
A little rectangle even.
