I wasn't 100% sure those white speckles here and there were the "dust", sorry. Still, it was only a question to make sure what you consider proof.

It's all an assumption, and not even an educated guess. I didn't say a word about the original negative. But I can't see how would you know what's on an interpositive and what's not (I guess there are more than one interpositive), and how would you know if Universal has done a new scan or not since 2002. Because it's stupid? Edge-enhancement and temporal degraining wasn't stupid?
