It is no different than doing it in photoshop, except that the camera does it for you!
Plus it is also blury and hazy,
First, to what Grumman said, well done.
Matt its far from sad which is a bit over dramatic that you'd you use such a term and it is far from a poor decision. Removal of dust spots do not fall under manipulation, they fall under CMOS/Scan Dust. We've accepted worse shots before this one and I wager we'll accept even more questionable shots in the future.
If you want to get very technical every time you push the shutter button you are manipulating the picture as the settings you use manipulate the light. Cameras can do strange things when you push that button, that's what makes photography interesting.
As for a mission statement for JP.net...amoung the crew forum Chris and the Sr. Screeners have always used the phrase "We look for reasons to accept rather then reject."

I also agree with Grummanfan.
However, when you take an artform and apply technological confines to it, then you cannot expect not to have dialogue disputing the technological aspects. Dialogue is good whilst flat out ridicule is pointless and spiteful.
("Whilst"....what was for Matt. :wink: Another one of my favorites is "abreast".)
