Smoothing's benefit
... is mainly to aid the viewer when you zoom in to show specific detail. Granted it's not what we use off-screen, but run a loop of radar over a county map without smoothing it, and watch the phone calls pour in.
And to a certain degree, it's not actually "blocky" like that in reality, either... :shock:
which is hard to explain to the average viewer.
It's like teaching Thanksgiving to First Graders... YOU know the truth, but you still gotta make it simple for them... all the while, you have history professors, sitting in the back of the class... itching to speak up!
"And we brought turkeys and syphilis to the natives!"
:wink:
