I agree. I don't understand "optimize-contrast"

Does that mean If I have 5 pixels black,red,blue,green,white and I scale to
10 pixels I'll get

black,black,red,redish-purple,bluish-purple,blue,blueish-green,green,white,white
since by some definitions there is no contrast between red,green,blue so
those would be blended

Why not just say "nearest-neighbor" if that's the effect people are asking
for?
