Well no, that's really not true, for the reasons that I stated: MTF at
10% is not perceptually relevant. Kodachrome is not sharp when
comapred with a good digital camera.

That's simply incorrect from what I can tell. Try this. Get the best
digital projector you can find. Next get a top quality 35mm slide
projector (like my Lietz Pradalux); project a Kodachrome slide to
60" X 80". Now take a 24 Megapixel digital picture and project it to
the same size, both on matte screens. Now, stand 5 feet in front of
each and tell me which image has held together better. In case you
don't get to try that experience, I'll give you the results.

I don't think there are any 24 megapixel digial projectors.

Alright, I will. There is a parallel here between audio and
photography: a tendency to concentrate on perceptually irrelevant
concerns at the expense of what really matters. We've certainly seen
that with jitter measurements and measurements of "distortion" in MP3
streams.
