Add the caveat that the source material is relatively free of any analog type noise that may be exacerbated by the upscaling and I agree with you. Your interpretation of my statement quoted in post #47 was typical of most of your interpretations - it did not take into account that I was speaking of the type of noise found in analog content. Maybe it was a mistunderstanding, but stilll it is a far stretch from that quote to me saying there is no purpose or benefit in upscaling, especially when I praise it in many posts. Perhaps you were just being defensive, but it is ironic that someone who displays such disdain for the (apparent) peons who dare question your sweeping generalizations would also be on the defensive regarding those very same generalizations.
I have the Poynton book on 2-day shipping from Amazon. Hopefully he delves into the actual algorithms. It'll be an interesting exercise to plot the output of an analog noise ridden picture.
