You are probably right, IF you get your information from the raw files, however the raw files do not, I think, make very pretty pictures, and everything else is filtered through the software.

you've done it again, missing something fundamental and working from that. resolution is a function of luminance and that doesn't need 4 pixels. why a black and a white line? because two black lines won't be resolved by anything if they are touching.

Sure you do. The software reads the four pixels, sets the color, then
writes
them as 4 separate pixels of that color. Actually, I think it compares the adjacent 4 pixels and adjusts the color accordingly, but the minimum
information
recorded is 4 (2x2) pixels on a bayer pattern sensor. That means a line is
a
minimum of 2 pixels wide and a line pair is a minimum of 4 pixels. It does
not
matter what color the pixels are.
