High ISO NR option and ISO 100 JPEG output

Hi. One thing that looks a bit odd to me is that the A200 ( and I suppose the A300 which I have ) uses NR even at base ISO 100. This is very visible also in this review on the "High ISO Samples" page. I mean why is the option called "Hgh ISO NR" if it affects my ISO 100 JPEG output ? I was expecting ISO 100 images to be identical regardless of the "HIGH ISO Noise Reduction" setting, but instead I see softness and loss of fine detail. Good thing I only work with RAW files :)
