Why do you say that?

What is your understanding , of what blur tool? Is there some specific blur algorithm that you believe does preserve lightness or is this just an assumption you were making? Maybe you could be more precise about what blur you are refering to , there are several IIRC. Please try to be a little more specific about what you are reporting.
