Progressive Scan vs. Line Doubler

I don't understand something. Can you smart folks set me on the right track?
What I've read seems to say this:
(1) Most DVD players output a non-progressive scan signal, which is basically an interlaced signal, albeit with more lines of resolution.
(2) Progressive scan players output a non-interlaced signal, making an outboard line doubler uninteresting for DVD playback.
(3) Progressive scan players go a long way to eliminating the jaggies in output images.
(4) A non-progressive scan DVD player with an outboard line doubler will improve the resulting image, but not as much as a progressive scan player.
Are these points correct? If so, I fear that my non-progressive scan DVD player has become another betamax. :-{
