These artefacts are visible when viewing on a computer or a progressive display.

Is there actually any evidence that this is the case? I'm not trying to prove anyone wrong, I'm just interested in how this conclusion was reached. I don't understand why they would bother taking the time to inverse telecine when there is no technical reason to do so. It seems they spent as little as possible on this release, so I'm not sure why they would bother doing this when the results would be the same either way.
I don't see any errors in that scene to indicate cadence errors. I do see lots of jaggies though, presumably from the telecine wobble inherent on the master tape.
