Can't help feel that this thread reminds of Douglas Adams, description of the philosophers objection to Deep Thought. To paraphase from memory, "What is point of us spending all night argueing over whether God does or does not exist, only for this computer to give us his address in the morning"
What is the point of 188 pages argueing over blurry images, when someone could go back to the more original versions of the films, get a cleares image and make the whole 188 pages worthless. The real question is why hasn't anyone been able to make any real advance in getting clearer images in the last 5 years, surely it is both sides interest to do so.
