Then they should approve the transfer with grain reduction.

The issue here is it being applied without any say from the filmmakers, for reasons that have nothing to do with immersiveness, but rather out of desire to satisfy ignorant demands for HD video looking discs.

Next step: Full frame. If you want OAR and no grain, why should they listen to you for one thing and ignore the pleas for the other?
