It's a very different kind of noise. Artifacts, is what he meant to write. Motion deconvolution done wrong tends to lead to things like ring artifacts and other things that look like the image has been really badly and inaccurately oversharpened.

The basic theory for doing this type of deblurring isn't too bad, but making it easy and automatic becomes a really difficult computer vision-related problem. Adobe has been working on this (and a lot of other pretty cool stuff) for quite a while. It'll be interesting if they ever ship it.

I'm guessing that there is a whole lot of analysis left out by loading pre-configured coesfficient files to deconvolve these images. Getting that process to be relatively easy for the lay-person will be a challenge.
