The continued interest in YIFY 720p encodes (YIFY stopped a couple of months ago, and their encodes target small file size, not best quality) show that many people either can't tell the difference, or just don't care about the difference.

When I read movie critics I never see anyone saying "Not sharp enough" or "I wish there was more detail". Maybe I'm just reading the wrong critics? But when I'm watching a movie the quality of the image is about the last thing I care about, so long as it's above a fairly low minimum. (EG, Clint Eastwood often gets comments for his poorly lit films; a bunch of Youtubers could buy a tripod).
