"Fair use does not guarantee pristine fidelity."
That's definitely one way to interpret it. Fair Use to me means getting to use the Copyrighted item in it's distributed form. Since the original work is high quality digital, my fair use says I am able to use that copyrighted item in fair ways. It doesn't say that if I buy a book and I want to bring it to work with me, I have to rub it on the ground and degrade the book so that it's not as perfect as when i got it.
