I disagree.. Pixels are actual  representations of the amount of light
hitting a specific small area on the sensor.  Same as silver molecules on
real film, but Digital data is quantized, so it is an approximation of the
actual value to the nearest quantized level.  Scanner or sensor, same issue.
The pixels are real.

Up sampling is making up pixels.  There were no available sensor locations
for these pixels.

All pixels are made up, or artificial.  The ones produced in the camera or
the scanner are no more 'real' or 'legitimate' than those produced by the
computer when more pixels are needed to increase the size of the picture.
They are all made up.
