Agreed.

Though I wouldn't disparage investigation and 'figuring things out.' I'd perhaps rephrase that: "I don't have much experience with this topic, maybe I should qualifty my certainty," as a sentiment, seems to have disappeared. The Trump admin is kind of a perfect embodiment of that.

To be clear, I'm not an expert here either. I'm not a broadcast engineer or anything and would defer to some news source that actually knows what they're talking about... but I do know just enough Vapoursynth to be dangerous, and have seen what looks like this exact artifacting in way, way too many TV show broadcasts...
