Don't do this.  Your comment was, and I quote:

"But you'll never get really good black and white from any RGB

generalization, and whether it's the original imaging device or not, it IS
an imaging device.

That is not true as an overall statement.

But it WAS and IS available.

I don't have time to waste arguing with you.
