What is the benefit of adding noise to a colorized area in a photo?

You can also use noise to restore a more naturalistic appearance to highly retouched areas and even synthetically rendered elements. Surprisingly, adding a touch of noise will make even slightly out of focus images appear sharper. You can use noise to reduce or eliminate banding. If that makes sense
