Sunspots are the consequences of magnetic fields, not the fields 
themselves. You can infer some facts about the magnetic fields involved 
from the optical images of the sun-spot, but not everything you might 
like to know.

In your opinion, which doesn't look all that well-informed.

A more objective observer might beg to differ.
