For me, it's simple. These marks were not captured on film, and thus do not truly represent part of the finished product that the crew worked so hard to achieve.

Well sure, but someone also went in with a black marker on a few shots too, to correct some things. Now I agree with you, but there were changes even after the film was put "in the can" so to speak. Some, like the black marker stuff, was intentional. This was not. I agree only intentional changes to the "in the can" print should be restored, but people never really saw the "in the can" print either.

I think part of the problem is that I wish I could have seen it! ;)
