So please don't say there were flaws in the OOT when it comes to effects because there wasn't one complaint from fans from 1977-1996.

Actually, I wasn't talking about aesthetic changes like those made to Cloud City. I was referring to matte lines and such.

By your logic anyone that DOESN'T wish for films to be altered decades after their release is a fanboy. I wouldn't want Wizard of Oz updated; or Lawrence of Arabia (CGI camels!! Its "better"!!); or Metropolis. Or Star Wars. Its a film made in 1977--of course the effects do not hold up to today! Duh! Does that mean they are "flawed"? In the sense that they do not compare to todays, yes, but seeing as these films are not madde today this is a logical fallacy--you are asserting films are flawed simply based on the virtue of their being made prior to today.

I don't think anyone disagreed these "flaws" existed--clearly, the matte lines are visible. Its not a question of opinion; they are there. No one ever pretended these technological limitations didn't exist, there simply is no need to update it in the first place. Its like people who can't watch any film made before 1990, or anything in black and white--its not "up to date". No shit. Movies are products of their time. Either watch them or don't.
