Indeed at the marketing level that is an accurate statement.
At the engineering/technology level is is a gross oversimiplification.
But then most marketing verbiage is a gross oversimplification, so
why should Adobe (or Sony) be any different?
If we want to just leave this discussion at the marketingspeak level
then we are in violent agreement. But to say that it is 100% perfect
and that the 100th (or 20th) generation will be bit-perfect with the
original is something that would likely get no support from the
engineers who designed the technology.
If you really want to know the remarkably complex technology
behind DV, here is as good an explanation as you can get for free...
