I don't think this topic was particularly relevant for you since you know exactly what your video pipeline is doing.

By "I don't want to dither if I don't have to", I assume you mean "dither further than I have to", since you'll need to dither down to 10bit from MadVR's higher internal representation.
But it's those kinds of wordings that made me bring this topic up in the first place. If someone were to assume "10bits, great. Just like my input" as the take away message, they could be dithering more than needed because something in their pipeline downconverted along the way.

It was more a cautionary mention rather than "everyone needs to not do this", but I think it got a little muddled along the way. Oops.
