You may have taken my answer less literally than I intended it. I wasn't
knocking anybody.
If someone asks why it matters whether the film/sensor is fast or whether
the lens is fast, then performance issues aside the answer is that for
selective focus you want a large aperture. And you're right, for good DOF a
small aperture may be needed, which often requires higher ISO.
