It's becoming tedious, but again only opinion, and nothing to back it up. You're 80% claim would mean something if you could provide some evidence. There is plenty of evidence to the contrary, and it's neither theoretical or inaccessible. I've got more faith in years of scientific research than your baseless claims. But like Laserdisc Master suggested, if you think you can do better, start a thread and prove your point, but until that time: "bachelor's wifes and maiden's children are well trained".

In any case, you're happy with your method, I'm happy with mine. Let's leave it at that. This discussion is pretty pointless anyway, since we're obviously never going to agree.

Edit:

To answer your question: sharpening refers to the process of increasing contrast in edges of objects; deblurring refers to the process of deconvolution, which corrects a defect. To say it bluntly, sharpening treats the symptoms, deblurring treats the cause. It comes as no surprise the latter is generally preferred.
