You’re still misinterpreting what I proposed. I didn’t propose a +0.5 debias at all. I proposed that the bias is removed by scaling. In this case you divide by 255.0 but multiply by 256.

But again, the likely reason no one does this is because it introduces a bias in the other direction, toward 255.

It’s unbiased, but amplifies the signal.
