The thing is, it would be better if MWilson had presented it in those terms.
If he had said from the start, "Here's a fun effect I discovered by playing about. It has no scientific basis, but seems to create the right colours for certain types of scenes, if you don't look too closely", we would all have accepted it in those terms.
Instead, by accident or design, he gave the impression that he had invented some wonderful way of extracting accurate colour information from greyscale images. Perhaps he even believes that he has, I still don't know.
