That is undeniably true but after a simple color adjustment the raw footage does look much better than before. Plus if the channels are off by a different amount on different elements, the misalignment must have been introduced in the original compositing and not in the making of the print and thus realigning the elements separately (not to mention harvesting detail from neighboring frames, which was never even on the negative) is an act of revisionism. All of that is of course ok for Mike's version, since he isn't going for 100% original and I completely agree that it is amazing what can be pulled from film but I don't think it would fit a proper restoration.
