Deblurring can indeed restore details that are normally not visible. In many cases however when the source is not blurry retrieving details can be difficult. Have you tried your method on the GOUT? 

However the best test is to downscale a real 1080p sample to 540p, and then upscale back to 1080p.

Here's a screenshot comparison for the Star Wars blu ray. In this case the raw super resolution upscale is shown. For a true upscale some denoising and regraining would be performed, but as an example for detail reconstruction it is good enough.

Here's the 540p video sample:

I used frame 600. Why don't you try your method for a fair comparison?
