At least the SE is blatantly a different version that all but the most ignorant know is a revision. Meanwhile, other movies are getting wires and reflections erased and getting passed off as the original version.
Not if you talk to the younger fans who grew up with the SE's and have never seen the OT. Some of them only know of the originals as being basically "rough cuts" with "missing scenes". And yes I have actually seen that exact quote recently on a message board.
