I agree with you completely. I feel that you may have missed my previous reply to you (since I agreed with you completely!). Always possible that you didn't see that reply, of course. :)
Tom, the Arizona astrophotographer, has since sent me a wider view image which I will post shortly. There's a dot near where Jupiter should be. He suggested that he may have been distracted when he quickly posted the image for social media amusement, and yes, the dot he accidentally highlighted may have been nothing more than a hot pixel.
The point of his post was, of course, not lunars but simply daytime visibility of Jupiter. I mentioned to him, and I will add here, that there is a good opportunity for this coming up on June 9-10 (recommended best date is longitude-dependent). There will be a very nice evening twilight conjunction of Jupiter and Venus that will get lots of public attention --so start planning now! It will be very pretty in twilight, and during the daytime, especially late in the day, it should be a nice chance to find Jupiter in daylight since it will be sitting so close to Venus.
