The lens has far better resolution than the sensor so we are only getting back something that already exists. You cannot make a lousy optic better.
I could go further but you get the idea. With star reduction algorithms and RL enhancement we have made the blocky 12.7 MP sensor perform
like a 64MP sensor.
All of this is mathematically valid.
It is the oversampling that is the secret. Not only does it increase signal to noise but resolution as well.

Yes, I would like the math Bert, even though I will struggle with it.
Dithering, as I understand, is primarily to eliminate sensor defects.
Even if you upsample, stacking will just align subs (canceling the dither)and produce the same results as a no-fault sensor sub.
I see dithering increasing res as say if a sub was captured at 4 times (or more) the image res to a fixed non-dithered file so that sub pixels "filled up" a larger pixel space, which is not possible now (that I know of).
Not doubting your math Bert, just asking
