But if Warner were to acknowledge any flaw with this transfer now, before release date, they couldn't put out the actual product on the shelves and would have to recall all copies, after having spend quite some money on distribution (by now, most retailers have their copies stored).

Since, as has been said here several times, most buyers won't see a problem with their discs, it makes more sense to remain quiet for now, sell it like it is, and then issue some official statement on the matter and offer a replacement at a later time, likely several months down the road, to save face.

Then again, all this is pure speculation on my part with no real evidence to support it, and it well may be an educated guess or simply wishful thinking.

An then the funny thing is, a new Gladiator came out with....guess what.... blue color timings.
