That is a misunderstanding of how limited range YCbCr gets converted to full range RGB. They think one YCbCr -> RGB step gets turned into two steps, the conversion of YCbCr to RGB and a conversion of limited range to full range. In reality madVR simply uses a different matrix for YCbCr -> RGB to get full range RGB so the number of steps does not change and there is no extra scaling process.

Of course! At best you only get the smoothness of the source when using smooth motion. And no one is arguing that matching the refresh rate is not preferred, only that smooth motion is smooth even with 50p at 60 Hz!

Yes, matching refresh rates can be worth it. You do not need to say smooth motion is not smooth to say this, you can stick to explaining the real limitations of smooth motion.
