You are obviously correct in saying that to start with a low-res photo
and create a high-res photo involves adding information that is not
present in the original. Nobody is disputing that.

 

They are if they think that photos can be enhanced to identify perps.

 

"Our algorithm identified the perp (when we asked it to determine if this image was more likely to be the person we already wanted to convict, or a lamp post)." spike
