I hope you are right. LFL can spend millions of dollars restoring a print only to let it rot five years later. They can afford to waste money.
It baffles me that they would go and do the worst possible job in transferring a movie to DVD twice. And they control every aspect of SW, so ironically they are the only people that can do the best video transfer, yet a complete idiot with no knowledge of film can do a better transfer that is a hundred times better that either the GOUT or 04 DVD.
