There's just one little problem with this argument.  I have some
perfect pencil sketches that don't have any bits of color on them 
from the cels themselves.  So, not all pencils are like that regardless
of whether they were unstuck or not.  When you get some color on a piece
of paper from rubbing it with another piece of paper that had pen on it,
you are still transfering some ink, so, by your metaphor, you are
transfering a layer of paint.

Oh well, if it is true what someone once said, that having it stuck to 
paper is really bad when the paint contracts over time, which I'm not
sure is true, though I've seen evidence that would make me think it could
happen, I guess it's better to remove the pencil sktech with minor damage,
than to have your cel die after a number of years...
