Well...yeah.

I persist because I believe it. Would you have me say, "Oh, no, right,
it's not a thumb because a thumb is much smaller than that unless we're
talking about King Kong or a giant, etc.," when I believed just the
opposite?

A web page thumbnail, to me, is simply a representation of content, usually
more detailed content, to which it is linked. Size doesn't matter, it's
the quality of being a token or symbol that counts. Feel free to disagree,
but that is how _I_ interpret the term.
