Yes the Max resolution is an absolute. I am talking about the people that
scan at the max res then try to blow the images up in photoshop or what
ever. Try the test yourself. Scan something at 1 to 1 at the max resolution
of your scanner then however you wanna do it blow it up 200%. Then Scan
something at 225dpi AT 200% then compare the result. You will see what I am
talking about.

Dont forget to compare file sized and time to output
