I didn't ask for that. That was in your reply to a comment from Mark Himsley.
"No matter if the raster contains one field, two interlaced fields or a progressive frame, the 
filter will always see an input frame."
I simply asked how a deinterlacing filter would handle an input that has only one field. It's a 
question that, I note, you have not answered except that it "makes little sense", to which I agreed.

I agree in both cases of course.

Paul Mahol accused me of attacking you. That's absurd of course. Now you accuse me of feeling 
attacked. How would you know what I feel? I don't feel attacked.

You and Paul need to get your stories aligned. :-)
