My BS/MS says "..in Computer Science," does that make me a scientist? :-)
(actually, my BS is in EE....)

Anyway, because lack of AA may introduce moire, have magenta cast issue (you
don't think the M8 is the only one now? :-) ), and takes more processing
power to compensate for the above two?

Imagine you were building the original D30, the 3 megapixel wonder from
Canon, back in... 2001? AA is the right choice then.

The digital back have always required more "touching" from the users, so
those issues are not as critical.

In 2011? For the dSLR, having an AA is sort of compensated by having huge
amount of megapixels, so Canikon may not care, but Olympus, Sigma and others
have done away with it.
