They mean exactly what I meant them to mean - that on some frames there is a big (and on every frame, moderate) quality difference between HDTV and Blu-ray, so there is every justification for using the Blu-ray rip as the source of an edit, your impatience not withstanding.

You're mistaken on several other points, but we've gone too far off-target already, so you can have the last word if you want it (frame-based is the correct term, 756 pixels is based on the perceived resolution (70%) of full-frame field-based interlaced against progressive material, progressive wrapped in interlaced is fine, digital either works or doesn't, I was being facetious about Monster cables, all HD TVs must decode 720p, "720p is the preferred format for the broadcast...")

I'm only going as far as saying we don't see eye to eye on those points. This is as far as it goes.

we've gone too far off-target already,

Agreed.
