> pixelation is destructive

Yes, but JPEG compression is destructive too yet you can (well, most of the time) see what it's in the picture.

With pixelation you are essentially replace a clearly readable character with some yet unknown 'pixel character'. It's even more pronounced on a fixed-width fonts.

Just try it yourself on the clear shot (not a JPEGed to death one) first.
