PSNR being contrary to perception is NOT unlikely, in fact it's very
common.  See nr, *mask, qns, etc.  Even cmp=2 is a good example, as
it makes live action quite blocky, yet (usually) improves PSNR.

A warning that PSNR isn't perfect would be pointless.  The only
real question is: What gave you the idea that it is?
