nope. you're just proving your ignorance.

if you look at single frames, THEN FUCKING YES THERE IS ALIASING.
interlaced video is inherently aliased. as long as you watch it
smoothly at 60fps, your eye will mask most of the aliasing.

for stills, displaying 2 fields at once as a pseudo-frame will also
mask the aliasing, and of course pp=lb will only slightly blur a
still. on the other hand, whenever there's motion there is ALREADY
ALIASING and it's impossible to get rid of. even after pp=lb there is
still aliasing.
