I just wanna add, that I never claimed it to be 100% accurate, but there is no "my own specific vision of the UOT." I'm just trying to get as close as I can to what I'm convinced the real UOT is, while keeping it as high quality as possible - in that sense, that's exactly what DJ's doing: He doesn't know 100% sure what the actual UOT looked like, and he's trying to get the GOUT as close as possible to what he thinks it looked like.

When Mr. Harris was restoring the Godfather, he had one main highest quality source (the o-neg) and wherever the main source was damaged, he used the next best version (print) at his disposal and did whatever possible to make it look as close to the quality of the main source as possible. And I don't think anybody would say that it wasn't a restoration but that it was a re-edit. And that's exactly what I'm trying to do here: Use a high quality copy that is damaged in places and fix those damaged parts using the next best source available to me. Again, I don't claim that it's 100% accurate but I think that in terms of viewing experience, it is pretty close to what I'm convinced the UOT is.
