Am I mistaken? In a scene filmed 'day for night', how bright and how detailed should it be?

What you say has merit, however, I just don't think it's that simple even-though I believe many (on here) think it is. Which is the problem I'm bringing up. 

And you could say the example I noted is a corner-case. Yes, it is, but it's an extreme to show what is written below is mis-guided.

In the absence of a definitive "this is how it's definitely supposed to look" source to compare it to, I would think the source that provides the most detail would be preferable. In that case, wouldn't a release that crushes blacks and/or blows out whites to the point of losing detail in those areas be undesirable?
