IMO, your crack about NTSC is unjustified.
IMO, NTSC color was a very elegant engineering solution to backwards
compatability. Without that, we could well be still watching B&W.
The other contemporary backward-compatible solutions -- PAL and SECAM
-- did not suffer from the color drift that plagued color NTSC. So,
there were superior methods of backward-compatible color insertion
available and the FCC still chose the NTSC method. Bad decision,
which saddled the US with inferior broadcast video for 60 years --
just as choosing 8VSB has done for digital video in the US.
