Implied detail that doesn't relate to the image, and is essentially an overlay the way scanlines are simply makes it look worse to me. It's visual clutter that only detracts from the image.

I don't think we really have anything to talk about because we disagree so fundamentally. When I look at a game like Monster World IV on my screen, at the distance I play each pixel looks like a nice clean block of colour. And in my opinion that is the game looking the absolute best it can. I think scanlines make everything look worse, but if you like them then it's good they're there for you.
