All that I understand of sampling theorem is undermined by your suggestions. 
What I am saying is any difference WRT to resolution in each case will 
generally be so small as to be insignificant particularly if we are talking 
prints as the final output medium. Very simple.

I think we all are undeniably aware of these factors John.

Sure but by what practical degree?
