Personally, I think there’s a difference between being a “purist” and going overboard. I think the idea here is mainly to preserve the original theatrical cuts (more or less), but I definitely think there’s such thing as being too persnickety about things like a decimal change in frame rates or exacting color timing.
As opposed to simply accurate color timing. Which is currently lacking in official releases of the OT.
Yes. There’s accurate and then there’s nitpicky and just plain speculative.
