The myth of infinite detail: Bilinear vs. Bicubic

“A bit blurry, yes, but clearly superior to giant chunky pixels.” I Actually prefer the sharp blocky 300% version using pixel scaling (naive nearest neighbour) over the bilinear filtering and bicubic filtering versions. To me those last two with their blurry borders are clearly not better at all. The reason is that limited lineart resolution/fixed palette images (2,4,8 bit) should not be blurred by bilinear/bicubic filtering. That only works sort of okay on true colour (24bit colour) images / photographic material.
