I saw a video the other day, two film restorers were talking about how you don't want to OVER restore something. The example was given that if you do a 4k scan of Caligari you can see the nails in the sets

a) that's not helpful to your experience
b) It's certainly not what the director wanted.

This helped me figure out that THAT is what happened with the 1997 special editions. They cleaned it up TOO much, nd made it *really* look like a late 1970s movie (derogatory)
