If you go down that line of reasoning, isn't it like saying, "Well, Star Wars went from film, to laserdisc, then was ported over to DVD, and along the way a number of visual artifacts (DVNR, jaggies, etc.) were introduced, but hey, all that preserves the history of what this movie went through, so it stays?"
Does Mike Verta have any comment on this particular issue? What's his sources reveal regarding the mark?
Yes, but that is the history of the film as it went from format to format. This is the history of the film as it was initially seen in theaters - with the burn mark.
