  My statement still holds.

  I don't think that the people who decided about that rule thought that
it could be used to enhance the quality of the image.
  It's the spirit of the IRTC rules that the quality of the image produced
by the renderer should not be enhanced by post-processing. The image should
be the one produced by the renderer, with no modified quality. If the
image produced by the renderer had artifacts, it's against the rules to
remove these artifacts with a paint program. Using the resizing trick
is essentially doing this.
  We should think about the rules in their whole context and understand
the spirit of the rules, not just their letter.
