English term or phrase: a piece of intellectual debris

Wilson Hicks said words were not a subordinate but an equal partner of the
photograph. He was stretching the point a bit, but it was then -- and is today -- a necessary antidote to the
idea that words pollute photos. This is ***a piece of intellectual debris*** from the early idea that photography was art or it was nothing.”

Il significato è chiaro, ma mi sfugge la resa in italiano!
