Good point Cliff, but I would modify your sentence slightly.

The interlace artifacts on progressive displays are due to the less 
than perfect sampling of the interlaced camera. This makes it 
virtually impossible, in MANY cases, for ANY kind of de-interlace 
processing to accurately predict the missing samples, resulting in 
errors in the presented samples that are perceived as image artifacts.

I would also note that interlace artifacts are OFTEN highly visible 
on 1080i displays when presenting 1080i source.
