Therefore, it makes much more sense to process are photographs in such a manner as to attempt to evoke an emotional response from the viewer that may only approximate how we may have envisionrd the scene.

Since that'll never happen, it makes no sense to even try.

Well then, as I stated in the very next 3 words, "Or not at all..."

Our images should make some attempt to communicate something. Otherwise, why ever show them to anyone, or for that matter, even take them??

Because some of us just take them for our own pleasure. Gee. What a concept. Most of the shots I have shown to others have been places I've traveled to and they were sent home merely for the purpose of showing what was going on where ever I was. I don't take pictures for others. I take pictures for myself.
