Me too! Oddest bit of all, perhaps:
"Thanks to its finer structure and almost infinite bit depth,
photographic film can distinguish between pairs of lines so close
together that 2,200 of them would fit within the width of a
millimetre."
Erm, what film is this, that can resolve 1100 line pairs per
millimetre? and what lens can do it any sort of justice? Or is this
merely based on grain size? in which case, those 1100 line pairs have
a bit depth of precisely 1, so hardly infinite. In any case, since
all matter is made up of a finite number of discrete atoms, there can
never be infinite variation in a continuous tone image.
