TER asks reviewers to comment on "real photo" and "photo accurate" in submitting a review. Forget the wise-ass answer that "all photos are real", but for the life of me I can not understand how some answer no to the "real photo" question, and then go ahead and answer yes for "photo accurate". I can't be the only one frustrated with reviewers.  I can handle the photo being dated, tell us that in the accurate field, by saying yes to real and no to accurate.

First, I agree. And I asked the same Q years ago. Here is what I recall of the explanations.

Real - No, Accurate - Yes: It is NOT REALly her in the photo. However, that picture stolen from the web is an ACCURATE representation of her true appearance.  No, Jennifer Aniston isn't behind the door but the Provider who is behind the door looks kind of like Jennifer Aniston.  

Suggestion: Change those two database fields to something else(s)

the excuse given by gals who do this is that it is too risky to show their own face, so they find a likeness to represent them.

Of course they could just not show their face, as is the case with many gals, but I suppose they want the advantage that comes with showing their face
