I don’t care weather an xray image of the tape end up actually useful. But its interesting to know wether or not such specific data is at all requestable.
In essence, everything and truly is information, it would be a mistake to discriminate on perceived value because we never know what future science can accomplish.
When it comes to things that are deemed public, all the information around it should be too, regardless of intend or use.
Practical Example: While its reasonable that most people assume The text of the Declaration of Independence is what is important. That is not the case if you happen to do a historical study of hemp genetics and want to learn what strain of the plant was used for the declaration.
An officia office should to my opinion put as much effort into being helpful against requests of both kind.
