thermal noise will cause pixels to be bright enough to seem like a hot pixel on a long enough exposure. dark field subtraction can remove only pixels that hot in the dark field. if the actual exposure has bright pixels different from the dark field, they will remain. Photoshop can detect these and filter them out. the camera could too.

So why do you get ANY hot pixels with NR on?
