Why would I do that? It's my question.

No, I thought it was because when I bought the DVD, I didn't see 
anything that I hadn't remembered seeing before but if the scene was 
restored into the film for the DVD, then so be it.

The question then becomes, so what? How does that invalidate the notion 
that Terminators have been turned off like that before in the history of 
the franchise?

I also haven't seen a lot of stuff that's out there. But just because I 
haven't seen something doesn't mean it doesn't exist or that it somehow 
doesn't "count". My personal experience is hardly determinative.

Which makes it part of the franchise and makes my answer to the original 
question just as accurate.

Says who? Who makes these determinations as to what "counts" and what 
"matters" and based on what authority do they make them?
