Netflix and cropped films

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

I'd say that article is completely wrong.

Why?

Because if you watch a title on a tablet via Netflix, double tapping the screen takes it back and forth from letterbox to cropping.

So if they were already cropped you'd see just an eyeball or something.

Netflix says this isn't correct
The fine folks over at The Verge have been looking into this matter, and have been told by Netflix “we do not crop,” though they “may sometimes deliver the wrong version of a title. ‘When we discover this error, we work to replace that title as soon as possible,’ the company notes.” We’ve reached out to Netflix for comment and will report back.
