Computer modeling is not a study. It's having a predetermined conclusion and massaging the inputs until the output is what you want. GIGO. This shit us no more real than global warming "research."
Wait. Jumping in with no context... Dirty data is most certainly a thing. And it is well known that a system can only work with the data set it has, not the data set it wished it had.
I don't know what you mean "distortion." It is altering the image. Of course it must be distorted. The only way to not distort an image is to return the exact same image.
The goal is to produce something which is preferable to the human eye. I think that most humans would agree that after processing, the images look better. You're a faggot.

You cannot predetermine conclusions if the simulation is chaotic enough. Not all simulations just meet the will of their creator.
GIGO is not a law of computer science. Sometimes garbage informative can be improved, or new information can reasonably be guessed from it.

Give me any formal name for the law you're referencing, or a citation from a computer science journal for the claim you're trying to make.

Nevermind, I read the context. @Harry_Areola needs to wipe his own ass

Violation of GIGO:

It only serves to prove the opposite: Distortions are evident in the extrapolated version. That dolphin looks deformed

None of those are ever an improvement?

Show me where distortion is not introduced.
Voat looked at this method with the mail/settings/dark mode icons during one of the version upgrades and it was trashed due to the created distortion.

I like the look of the oversized images on the left. They are clean and give the clearest depiction of the ‘original.’
Hey @eagleshigh, @antiracistmetal thinks he can use pixelated Super Mario images to prove something he’s wrong about

lol!! That callback!

:D I thought you might appreciate it
