It isn't really a question of loss.
The edges are broken by digitization. And then people use sharpening to build new ones, which may or may not faithfully mirror the original subject.
So the digitization is lossy and the post work is destructive?
I get what you mean and I just can't accept the word destructive just because it means to me an intent as opposed to the actual limitation to fully resolve. Which of course has the same end result regardless of the word used.
