I'm try to decipher why progressive scan video is considered better
then interlaced.

Assuming that we are not dealing with old 1930's phosphors, would it be
fair to say that the following 2 images would be of the exact same
quality:

480i camera --> 480i display
480p camera --> 480p display

>From what I can gather, the real problem is when you try and mix the
formats and you get jaggies?

Can I conclude that:

Progressive scan TVs are considered to be better, MOSTLY because DVD
are encoded from film, which is essentially a progressive scan source.
That is, the source and display are both progressive scan.
