This is a lot like how I see the situation with Scrubs. Some would say "they framed for 4:3 and paid no mind to 16:9" and I would say "they framed it for 4:3 but kept 16:9 frame in mind as well". And if they had intended from the beginning to present it in 16:9, that's good enough for me to give it a chance, even if it's not "OAR".
