But if it is missing from the negative, then the point is that Arrow did not choose to cut it. It's not their decision and they've done well with what they were given. They could not very well breach their agreement by using materials not supplied by their licensor. Look at the region coding - Arrow had to lock, but BU chose to go region free.
Arrow can't win whatever way you look at it - the restoration is immaculate and consistent, but the six seconds is a problem.
Get the six seconds from BU - it's a typical DNR mess as we've seen before.
Edit - here's another thing to consider if it is missing from the neg. Do we know for certain that the boat sequence is not actually meant to be a deleted scene, rather than a part of the film?
