Funny, though, when I point out to him that interlace is compression
too, he's all for it because 1080i is "Real HD" while 720p is not.

Help me out here John.
Who was the chief engineer/technical director or high level exec who
represented PBS during the ACATS process? He was a really good guy
who was caught in the middle - he understood the importance of
progressive scan, but "saw the light" in terms of getting major help
with the HD upgrade from a vendor with both feet in the 1080i camp...
