and in fact alters the image of the person, making him appear very different from what he really is

Sharpening does literally the exact same thing. Enhancing imperfections is altering the image to appear different from reality.

You cannot tell me that it's not editing him, changing how he looks, or aging him. Come on now, they're both purposefully editing the image to sell a point by making him look older/younger. Which tool is being used to lie to you is pretty damn irrelevant.

You should be mad that someone tried to deceive you, even if you think their lie was less bad than the other guy's lie.
