Well, went and did research (gasp!) and found I had been lied to! Or at least to say it’s complicated. My statement does have merit in that yes! The most popular cameras from 2019 average 25 megapixels, and that puts it neck and neck to several uses of film (frequently animated uses).
I still think my primary argument is unchanged, but the precise details of my statement are somewhat hyperbolic. In my defence, “better than film” has been the marketing for at least a decade and there are things that digital photography shine at.
Cheap phone from 2019 is better than medium format film wat?! Better than 35mm film?! I dont see it.

Still, thank you for keeping me in check.

i think your argument stays. photography is a mix of lot more things and attributes than just resolution.
