Fact is that if you watch the original footage, you mind "upscales" it anyway. You recognize objects in the scene and forms a description. That description consists of idealized objects. If you see someone's face, you remember that you saw a face, not that you saw a blurry 64x80 grid of pixels with specific defects in resolution and noise.
