Yeah, although technically the goal behind things like 'super resolution' is to add data that is not there anymore but probably was there before.

i.e. you had the original scene that was captured by a digital camera (a lossy operation) and then saved as an image file (often also a lossy operation), and then a tool like this makes an educated guess as to what information was lost in the 1st and 2nd steps.

You have to demosaic things anyway (as mentioned in the article) so it's not like you can escape algorithmic fudging of details.
