Image doubling is happening in gamma light but the reasoning I use is less precise/mathematical.
I like linear light downscaling because it preserves small bright details, like stars in a night sky, much better. After doubling all these small bright details are twice as big so linear light downscaling does not preserve their appearance any better but it does have more ringing and aliasing.
