You're totaly right. It's easier to add scanlines than remove them.
Theres also the different colour values aswell, i.e: a simple decreasing
colour loop will display a nice rainbow on a NTSC system but on PAL you get a
bunch of disjointed colours.
And of course if you just do a PAL60 conversion you don't have to worry about
scanlines at all ;-)
