I see your point - all I was saying was that separating them allows people
without an IR channel in their scanner to ensure that the dust and scratch
removal has no effect on the result. It also gives users whose scanners
*do* have an IR channel the option of using grain reduction without dust
and scratch removal.

I think we're in agreement here. Probably just a semantic boggle. :)
