It is redoing. The effects weren't complete until the compositing was done; this was its own art, and until it was finished it was just a bunch of bluescreen elements.

Well you should apply that argument to the final release prints as well - photochemical colour timing too was an art but they'd definitely not be using it for a release to a digital medium. If you're completely logical and consistant in your arguments you *have* to decry the lack of a photochemical process in the final output of the restored film. Your arguments preclude the use of any digital restoration tools.
