@ DrDre,
I fearfully ask, doesn't deblurring make the image sharper?
I never intended to mispresent anything you've stated. But you do it all the time, and talk about things that are either evident or irrelevant.
I didn't dismiss the scientific literature. I even said SR works to a (small) extent. What you fail to understand that it doesn't matter what is possible theoretically or with inaccessible devices. You can only work with what is available, and you can't gain much with that.
Another thing you don't want to understand, that, say, 80% of your gains can be duplicated with denoising and sharpening. You don't want to hear about that. You act like every "new" detail is because of the substantial part of SuperResolution. That's wrong and harmful too.
And the third thing you don't understand that it is not personal and I have no conflicting interest with SuperResolution. I have plenty of footage I would love to improve with a well working method. But crediting SuperResolution for getting details you can also get with denoising and sharpening... that's not about finding out what your SuperResolution technique is capable of. That's something else.
I've seen the site Laserdisc Master posted. It's old stuff.
Comparing apples and oranges? Remember your words when you're comparing a simple resize to SuperResolution...
