The whole point of the sampling theorem is that the samples define ALL
of a complete and continuous analogue waveform of any complexity, as
long as the original waveform was band limited when was sampled! You
imply the smoothing is done using a best guess algorithm but there is no
guesswork, only one analogue re-creation is a valid solution.

E.g. a 20kHz sine wave will have only about two samples per cycle yet
the re-created wave will look like a perfect sine, not a saw tooth. To
repeat, as long as it was band limited to begin with, this is the magic
of the sampling theorem.
