Then you are seeing data that was simply not there in the original image, or
a VERY poorly done 6M image.

Jerry...you keep misunderstanding what "information" is, and what is and
isn't important about the different information.  There is spatial
information (for example 2k x 3k), and tonality information (for example 24
bit RGB).  As far as spatial information, the Foveon is 3M and a 6M is 6M
spatially, that is just plain and simple.  As far as tonal information, yes,
the Foveon has more "true" tonal information...but the importance of that
information is far less than that of the resolution.  You can dispute it all
you want, but it's a plain and simple fact.
