In other worlds it would look better noisier. To me its the analog equivalent of putting tissue or dirty saran wrap in front of an enlarging lens. You just don't ever want to do that. You want to see the real grain which is there becuae out of that grain comes the image. Less grain less information which is there; we are just now allowed to see it. In digital its not quite the same. We can anti noise the noise not grain just a tad to take some of the edgy sandpaper ness off until it gets to be too much and we are cut off from the information we should be seeing in the image. And that in terms of photography from both the craft and art sake: a big no no. It's human nature to want to see all the detail that was there in the original file rather than to have it smoothed over on us into jelly bean sauce. Odds are we'd not be viewing the image at one to one anyway. - - from my iRabs.
