He may do the highest level of grain removal on the OOT like he did with the 2004 SE - something I wouldn't like to see either.
Yeah, even John Lowry admitted that they went overboard when they removed grain during their "Citizen Kane" restoration. I'm not crazy about those computer algorithm-based "restorations". They're too imprecise. Nothing can substitute for a slow, careful, hands-on restoration that only a human being can provide.
