I did not even finish reading the article. Seems to fit into the expert thread from a couple weeks back. An old set of difinitons comes to mind.

I think you and I both have said in the past that a fiberoptic bundle, al la NPC Polaroid back would work to adapt digital to even existing film cameras; but it would be expensive.

The optical bundle doesn't behave this way, it transforms one surface area
linearly to a new surface area. And due to the fact that it is a multi-fibre
device it actually alleviates colour smear problems as it effectively
collimates the rays before they hit the sensor.
Isn't that how the NPC backs work?
Yep very similar. Interesting read under the paragraph "Marty Forscher to the rescue?" in the following page:

Note the BS "expert" speculation followed by the NPC engineers commentary.
